Infant feeding

strange faces after breast feeding....

my two week old baby rolls her eyes back after breast feeding and i'm beginning to think she is having a fit.
Her breathing becomes very shallow.

do babies normally do this? Am i being paranoid first time mum? Or should i be really worried my baby is brain damaged?

It's completely normal IME.
When my DD was full and content her eyes would roll back and she would nod off (hence the shallow breathing). She's just really relaxed.

When they're full of milk they often look positively stoned!

Oh it's just beautiful.
Can't wait for DC2 to be born so I can feed her into submission!

The oxytocin makes them drunk on your milk, it's lovely.
