DD won't eat while awake!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My dd is 11 weeks old, and starting last week she seemed to get upset, cry, and arch her back anytime I would attempt to feed her while she was awake. We've never had feeding issues before, and she would quazi tolerate eating if I had her lying on her stomach while I was leaning back (so she was parallel to me as opposed to the cradle position - which used to work for us).
She eats no problem at night during her sleep while either lying beside me or on her stomach on me. I can even feed her while she is half asleep in the cradle position.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I don't think she has any other symptoms of reflux - rarely spits up, ... But during my google search, the only thing that came up with sleep feeding / not eating while awake was reflux.
TIA

Could you have overactive letdown?

I do have a strong letdown, but she doesn't seem to have any problem with it.
