Just recently, yesterday and today my LO has been very grouchy.
I have been b/f exclusively since she was born and she usually feeds every 2/3hours during the day and most recently has been going approx 4-6hours at night!
As i said since yesterday she has been really grouchy, even after a feed (which usually calms her and makes her sleepy) when i am feeding her towards the end she stays latched on but makes crying/grunting noises and throws her head back with my nipple still in her mouth (ouch!!) she goes bright red and when i take her off she screams, not just a little cry but a full on scream! (this isn't every feed but pretty much every other).
I burp her she does maybe 1 burp (she doesn't often get much wind), oh i do give her infacol before every feed. All this time she is still crying so i put her back on and she quietens down for a second then she starts on with the jerking her head back (but she is still getting some milk as in between i hear her swallowing and she has milky chops?).
Another thing, she has started being sick a lot more, it isn't projectile vomiting and she doesn't tend to cry or look in pain before, i will look at her one second and the next time i look at her there is sick everywhere.....so she doesn't make a fuss before or after.
Well today she is being really fussy and seems to just want to sleep or be snuggled with her dummy, she is alert and bright when not crying/sleeping but i really just don't know if this behaviour is normal. I fed her last at 2pm and she should be wanting another feed now but she just wants to sleep.....
Does anyone have any advice, i am feeling like a hypocondriac mother. Is this something to worry about or completely normal?
