Hi, this is my first post on here and im hoping someone will be able to help!
Im am ebf my 4 month old but for the last month or so he has been very fussy when feeding and it is gradually getting worse. He latches on ok and drinks for a few minutes but then he pulls off, cries, arches his back and kicks his legs. He will usually then take the other side for a few minutes before doing this again. I try to switch sides again which sometimes works but sometimes he continues to cry.
I am worrried that he is not getting anywhere near enough milk and that my supply is suffering. I have been expressing a few times a day and giving this in a bottle to try and help this. I have seen lots of different bfc and spoken to the health visitor and the doctor. We have been given infant gaviscon in case it was reflux but it has made no difference.
Has anyone else experienced this and found out what was wrong or come out of the other side?
I am happy to give formula to make sure he is eating enough but on the few occasions i have tried it he has been very very sick and then slept for hours.
