I read the post to be saying that the baby was a month old, but had been
unsatisfied for *10 days*.  Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't
think 10 days of fussiness like this sounds like a normal growth spurt.  :-(

I agree with the thyroid possibility...also I would make sure she never
had a breast reduction (sometimes they don't say...) or doesn't have
signs of insufficiant glandular tissue.  I guess those would be my first
thoughts...though there may be many more reasons for such an unsatisfied
baby.

I hope I didn't misunderstand what the poster was saying...
