DS has started over the past couple of days crying when he's put down even if he's been asleep in my arms.
He's only 9 days old and he's confusing me! He will cry so eventually one of us will pick him up he will then start looking for a feed, sucking at his hands, clothes, my chin ect. when i try to put him on the breast he sucks about twice then pulls his head away, he does however have good long feeds every 3hrs on the breast without a problem.
Im not sure if he's just doing it so he gets a cuddle or if he wants something else, we have tried him ona dummy and he's not really interested.
I'm not sure whats up with him as DS1 was bottle fed and never really cried except when he was hungry or wet/dirty.
I just don't want DS2 to rely on always being carried about, not that i would mind but i have DS1 to look after aswell he's only 2 so still needs mummy alot.
