Hi everyone, I have a 3week old boy, its my first child, I ended up having a c section, which made breast feeding difficult from the onset, i.e. good positioning.
After many failed attempts to get baby latched on and on the verge of giving up someone suggested nipple shields, which proved to be a god sent as baby latched on with no problems.
My concerns are these, he won?t latch on without a shield, and he seems to be never satisfied and often falls asleep at the nipple, then wake within an hour or so hungry again. At approximately 4am he starts making loud noises, constantly fidgeting, waving arms and legs around and going red in the face as if he has a bad stomach, he also breaks wind quite a lot and it?s very noisy, his poo looks normal and he doesn?t appear to be constipated. He sleeps soundly in the day. Any advice help or hints warmly welcomed and much appreciated, new mum and not sure if this is normal baby stuff.
