Im breastfeeding my second DS (found it tough first time round, this time generally easier), however I have been having problems on and off with him fussing, crying, pulling off on my left boob, which I feed first as it is my "bad boob" and seems to produce less.
I think he is hungry, he will still do this when he hasn't fed for a few hours, and will generally feed better from the othe boob, though sometimes just goes into meltdown completely. He also feeds pretty quickly now, so I sometimes wonder if he is finished, but there seemed to be milk dripping from my boob still, so suspect it's not empty.
Have been wondering about strong letdown, ear infection, maybe not hungry enough, reflux (he spits up a lot). Any other ideas? He is generally a good baby, sleeps well, good weight, but has been a bit more fussy over the last few weeks.
Thanks
