DD is 10 weeks old and EBF. She has not eaten since 12:50pm (8 hours). She is refusing the breast and going nuts when I even start to try to offer. I have been offering frequently and she just won't do it. I have offered a bottle and she won't take that either (but we have never been able to get to get her to take a bottle prior to thi either). Usually, I just feed on demand and don't worry too much if she goes longer between some feedings than others but I'm getting pretty concerned? At what point do you start to worry about dehydration? Would you caall your pedi, go to the hospital, just wait...what?

I would get topless and do a ton of skin to skin, and give her a lot of low-pressure boob access.

After 8 hours, I would be concerned. I would at least call the pedi and get some advice.

She ate. I don't know what that was all about but it really sucked and I hope it doesn't happen again. She was pretty sound asleep so I thought she may not fight as much if I put her on while she was sleeping and it worked. She didn't completely wake up (eyes stayed closed) but did enough to eat. It was a shorter than usual feeding but I was extremely engorged on that side and by the time she was done the breast was soft so I know she got pleanty. Thanks!
