Not sure if I've just got my rose tinted glasses on...
When I had DD (8 years ago) breastfeeding seemed to be the magic answer to any sort of upset. If no other problem could be identified, then she could usually be comforted by a feed (even if it was just comfort suckling, rather than a big feed).
DS is now 6 weeks and totally different. If he is hungry then he feeds fine (so no issues with latch / tongue etc). When he's grumpy and I can't find a reason why then he has no interest in breastfeeding and just cries, won't latch or even comfort suckle.
I know it's not the end of the world, maybe even a good thing that food doesn't equal comfort (🤷♀️), but I feel like my magic 'stop crying' trick just doesn't work with this baby. Anyone else had similar?
