<p>So my daughter will go through these days where she'll barely eat. I'll offer the breast quite frequently, but she'll arch and scream. It seemed to be worse while out, better in the rocking chair, best in bed. I thought maybe she was just sensitive to her surroundings or distractable, but some days she nurses better than others. then I thought maybe she just isn't a very hungry girl (my first child was always nursing). She's on the small side and her growth seems very slow. (a little over 11 pounds at over 3 months... first child was probably this size at 5-6 weeks. However, I was small as a baby so she could be taking after me)</p>

<p>Today has been pretty bad. She's super fussy and hasn't really got in a super good feed. Then it looked like brick dust in her diaper, though that was followed by a pretty normal looking pee in the potty, but I'm still worried about slight dehydration with the brick dust and minimal nursing. She also has been really gassy. Several times, I've put her on the floor and pushed her knees into her chest and she's had LOUD flatulence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She sleeps great, doesn't have any skin problems, no diaper rash... She does look like she might have slight bags under her eyes. Could it still be a food intolerance of some sort? Oh, and I'm already dairy-free, mostly egg-free and vegetarian. I don't eat soy daily, either. I did have lots of pasta last night so the only thing I can think of is gluten.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: She's already on probiotics (reuteri by nature's way, and sometimes culturelle). Also, I just weighed her and she's 11lbs 3.5oz. She WAS 11lbs 7oz maybe 5 days ago</p>
