DS is five weeks today... feeding was all going so well until a couple of weeks ago, since when it seems to have been getting progressively worse. Now almost every feed is a bad one - he goes on okay, but soon starts taking in air and ends up red in the face and screaming, gets even crosser when I take him off to wind him because he is so frantic for the milk. After coming off once it seems impossible to get him back on again successfully, so the wind gets worse and worse and we both get more and more frantic. I took him to the breastfeeding clinic yesterday, they said my positioning was good (high praise indeed, believe me) and the problem is that my milk comes too fast for him after the letdown. Am feeling a bit desperate. What's the deal with cranial osteopathy? I don't think he's got true colic, but can it still help with stuff? He's up half the night too, which is making me feel worse about everything. His weight gain has been good so far, in fact he's a bit of a bruiser. Any ideas, anyone?
