I posted about this a few days ago that my newborn wants to suck constantly, comes off the breast and instantly wants back on again and is often sick, not loads and not projectile. This can go on hours or all day without him sleeping in between. Am worried there is something wrong, that maybe he isn't getting enough milk, or my milk isn't good enough? He seems to latch well but maybe he isn't getting a big enough mouthful?
I know they can suck for comfort but he seems so stressed out about it that it doesn't seem like he is finding it comforting, when he comes off he is thrashing about in desperation to find the nipple again and his breathing is really fast and crazy.
Also we had a couple of dirty nappies on Friday and then not another one until today, is that ok?
