Hi,
I'm breast feeding my week old baby and it's just settled down and she's latching on properly etc until recently she's become frantic after feeds. She feeds for 15/20 mins then becomes really distressed, crying, arms and thrashing. I try to feed her again as she gives all the cues but she won't latch on, even with nipple in her mouth.
It's really distressing as I don't know what is wrong with her. I have been topping up feeds with formula milk as she needed to increase weight gain and I'm really trying not to give in to bottle and keep her on breast but it's really hard!
Anyone else experience this and please help me if you have!
Thanks xxx
