Over the last 3 days my 13 week old DS2 has become very difficult to feed. He is EBF and has always taken his feeds calmly with a brief winding at the end of the feed. It has now become a bit of a battle. He has gone from taking both breasts, down to just one again. He is bobbing on and off, crying, sometimes screaming, going red in the face. He takes about 3 gulps and then doesn't seem to be able to take anymore. It is becoming a long, drawn out drama.
I've tried changing to rugby hold, which helped a little and winding him more frequently, although this seems to make him cry all the more and he goes as stiff as a board. Things are better at night when he is very sleepy... I am worried he isn't getting enough milk.
I wondered if anyone else had any thoughts/experiences?
Thank you
