For the last two days my 13 week old baby has been really hard to feed during the day. He latches on and roots around fine and will feed normally for about 5 mins. Then he pulls off and refuses point blank to have any more. More to the point if I try to hold him to my breast he gets very very upset - hysterical. Previously he would feed for about 25 minutes whenever I put him to the breast so this is really strange. I don't suppose he's acting as if he's hungry between feeds, he's sucking his hands a lot but has been doing that for a few weeks anyway, but I just can't believe that he's having enough milk. During the night he has been absolutely normal - feeding twice for about 25 minutes each time - it's just during the day. I can't see my health visitor until a week on Friday and am really really worried. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
