My little guy (7wks) has been getting really fussy at the breast lately. I can't figure out what's wrong, so wish I could just ask him what's up
When he had a bad feed (too often this week). He fusses and squirms, he whacks/squeezes by breast. He goes on and comes off crying/screaming, then goes on again (repeatedly). He's frantic to go back on, but really unhappy when he gets there. Makes me feel like he's not getting enough milk and my breast isn't doing it's job for him
These feeds can last 30-50min, but no idea how much of that he's actually sucking for. Eventually I give up and try to console my poor wee man.
A good feed only lasts 5-15 min. Sometimes one side, sometimes both. He eats, he often starts to fall asleep. Sometimes he'll come off with that cute happy fed baby look and just lie there for a while (oh, so miss that
), othertimes he'll really fall asleep and just suckle a bit for comfort every now and then (I know I shouldn't let him use me as a pacifier, but when you're that cute you can get away with anything
). So clearly there's enough milk there right?
So what's his beef?
Fussy on the breast - what’s wrong?
