19wo DS has been doing great, ebf as he refuses a bottle and feeding well. But he's been getting more and more distracted while feeding. At first I could deal with it by taking him off upstairs, but even in a quiet bedroom he still spends more time staring around than feeding. I've even tried draping a muslin over his head, but he pulls it off again. He feeds for five or ten minutes then starts getting bored, and if I try to put him back to the breast he screams at me. Last night, he was even getting distracted in a dark room!
Thing is, if he carries on like this, I'm worried my milk is going to start drying up, as he's just not taking it! I just don't know what to do here.
