My baby boy isnt feeding well over the past week. His morning feed he takes well but from then hes awful! Im finding it hard to get a feed of 10minutes as he does a few sucks unlatches chats and smiles, back on suck suck, then off again for chats and smiles. Im seriously worrying about the volume of milk getting into him as the day goes on hes obviously hungry, he latches on sucks for a few minutes moaning and crying then breaks off...its getting to the point where he cries as soon as i lie him on the feeding pillow
I feel like hes rejecting the breast and dont know what to do as he happily wolf down a bottle of ebm no problems, i so dont want to give up breast feeding, but im not sure what to do? Do i start him on formula or wean early as theres no guarantee even if i wean him onto baby rice hel still breastfeed...im utterly clueless atm....hes pooing every 4days and has a nice wet nappy after the morning feed but they get alot lighter as the day goes on - help!
