My little boy (Adam - 9 months) has been unsettled all day, he has refused my breast since 2am this morning, however still eating solids. I pumped my milk into a bottle but he has never taken a bottle so refused!
He has been very unsettled, crying all day which is not like him at all! He’s usually so chilled, calm, content and loves his breastmilk!
He has 4 teeth so far, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. He has had 2 wet nappies since 7am this morning and napped once, usually he naps three times a day.
I contacted the health visitors today, they said it maybe teething but to keep an eye on him.
This is where I am confused as to what it is… whenever he cries he arches his back and continues to do so for a long period of time.. what could this be?

My little boy has been the same today and when he's like this it has previously been teething. He has been refusing to breastfeed, demanding solids but barely eating them, crying/arching back, screaming on and off all day unless really distracted and has woken early from his naps. Poor babies 😥

Very similar to my day. Mine finally took a feed after some pain relief. Was also arching back when I held him. Hoping tonight he gets a good sleep.

Might be teething and on bit if a nursing strike. Remain calm and do lots of skin to skin x
