Solutions or explanations would be a great help as I'm at a loss and feeling totally exhausted and useless.
My LO is 13 weeks and over the past 2 or 3 weeks has pretty much refused to eat during the day. He will probably have about 4 or 5 oz at a push and giving him this is a huge struggle - chewing the teat, pushing the teat out, pulling away from the teat turning his head left to right - and this is from about 7:30am through til about 7 or 8pm.
I don't force him to drink when he clearly doesn't want to (I've tried warm milk and cold milk). He is now though getting up more often during the night (roughly around every 2 and a half to 3 hours) and will take the bottle easier when he's sleepy - no struggle, fussing or chewing the teat/nipple at all. He doesn't sleep much during the day but has very small cat naps that last about 10 mins and he'll have about 3 of these throughout the day.
I've tried to work out when this was from and it seems that it is from when he had his 1st injections at 9 weeks. Not sure if it has anything to do with it at all though???
He is gaining weight and has wet nappies, he poos roughly once a day. He is usually really happy but now, he's not crying, but whimpering a lot and is after fuss and attention, which I give to him to soothe and settle him.
What could it be? Teething (My HV said we blame teething on a lot of things baby does and it wouldn't be that)?? A phase? Just something normal that happens to every baby at some point?
Any help you can offer would be great
