14 month old bobbing from one breast to the other every few minutes - could my milk be drying up?

[Havingkittens]

As it says in the title. In the last few weeks he has been doing this, and not feeding for very long during the morning feed like he used to. I am only breast feeding 2-4 times a day now and was on a course of antibiotics a couple of weeks ago too. Could my milk supply be on its way out?

Is your period due or could you be pregnant? Both those things caused that sort of fussing with my two.

I think they just realise they can swap sides and get a new let down. DD is older but has swapped constantly from 12 months.

[Havingkittens]

Neither of the above, as far as I know. Maybe it's because he's teething on one side and trying to find a comfortable angle. Just curious as I wasn't intending to give up just yet.

Urgh, that has just reminded me! I had forgotten all about this behaviour at that age which drove me completely nuts!!

Both mine did it for no apparent reason

[Havingkittens]

I'm wondering if it may just be one of those "I'm the one in control of this situation" things they seem to get about eating at this age. He's a bugger with meals too at the moment.

My 15mo just started doing this too!
She also wants both boobs out and available (!!) so she can swap between them

[mindalina]

oh yes i have a 15m one that does this too, mine definitely does it to be a pain

[MissMilbanke]

One of mine did this. He fussed and fussed with my left boob at 9 months head butting and pulling and when I gave in and offered him the right he was fine. I always offered the left side first as he was only 9 months and I didn't want to stop bf but he made he decision to self wean a few weeks later

[WaveorCheer]

My oldest did this, and now my youngest is doing it too. SO fecking annoying. But they care not a jot :o

No relation to self-weaning here chance would be a fine thing
