James did that. I was so frustrated. Are you giving them bottles too? I had really bad cracked nipples around that time  (sorry if TMI) so I was pumping the breast with issues and would nurse on the other. So the boys would switch back and forth who would nurse and who would get a bottle. It took about 1 day of that and James tried to boycott nursing. I ultimately just kept nursing him and gave Eli bottles until I could nurse again on both sides. 

Probably a totally different scenario with you, but that is what I went through.

Is she vomiting a lot or acting like she's in pain? Does she look sick? Any of those and I'd call the doctor. Otherwise, I'd just keep offering.

this happened to us every time my kids hit a growth spurt. They'd geek out until my supply met their new demand, or if my let down was too slow.

By 8 weeks we hit our stride and they stopped pounding me in the chest with their fists and screaming.

This. One of my daughters would get so mad that she'd almost stop breathing and I would be freaking out. I just kept pumping and feeding and drinking tons of water...Then overnight(a couple weeks ago) my supply almost doubled and the girls are fine now.
