[quote=Anonymous]my 6 week old has been a fairly easy baby--gassy but other wiserarely cries (only to be fed but I usually get there before then--she is EBF and usually eats about every 3 hours). But today has been different. She woke up from a nap at 3, ravenous (I had fed her at 1 pm), and got progressively fussier as the day has gone on. I tried to put her down for a nap, she wanted to nurse again at 4:45, then again at 5:30, then again at 7:15--she acts as if she's ravenous, but nurses a while, starts to drop off and then wakes up squirming and crying as if in pain. She's now been up for over 5 hours and is with DH, who is trying to shush/jiggle/swaddle/etc/' to no avail. I know this is supposed to be the peak of fussiness, but the sudden onset and the crunching/arching makes me wonder if this is a sign of reflux? She doesn't spit up, however. (and there is no fever, etc) The only other thing I've noticed is that she's wheezing/choking more when she nurses--as if she's nursing too fast and got some milk down her windpipe or something. It's a lithe disconcerting, as it sounds as if she's choking.....
