DD3 (nearly 3 months) has just started refusing to BF yesterday and even worse today. She cries and howls until I relent and express a bottle for her - mostly will not latch just arches away. With a bottle she is fine (I use playtex which are meant to be similar to BF). She's always been an efficient feeder (athough not the best) and has had a late night bottle of EBM from about 2 weeks with no problem going back to BF. Weight gain a little slow (4-5 oz per week). Last night she woke at 4 am def hungry and would not feed. I refused to give her a bottle and tried every position eventually she had a couple of mins around 6am, went to sleep finally until about 8am but then would not feed and as we were going out I relented and gave her a bottle at about 9am - basically that continued all day and with 2 others under 5 I cannot spend all day battling with her. Any ideas - I really don't want to give up BF yet....
