A few nights ago dd started getting fussy at the breast for abput 1.5hrs. She seemed to want to latch on but would scream and thrust. We gave her infacol in case she had trapped wind. Then she would latch and fall asleep. This would start at around 730/8pm.

Then today it's not even 5pm and already she is crying and fussing. Clearly opening to latch but pushing away or unable to take the nipple.

Is my milk too low? Am I not satisfying her? She usually only evrr feeds 5-10mins 2 hourly in the dsy and clusters in the evening and had a good morning feed. She wakes every 3 hrs at night.

It's so awful to see her struggle :( what can I do?
 
It sounds more like yet another growth spurt to me though some babies do just go through colicky periods in the evening with no obvious cause and it can start from about a month old unfortunately. I don't think it's a supply issue xx
