Breastfeeding my 19 week old feels like hard work at the moment. I’ve been sitting in a quiet room to feed for a while now as he gets so distracted. Now he fusses a loss, unlatches and then tries to get back on but in the wrong place and banging his head. He also seems to prefer blowing raspberries instead!
It sounds silly as he is only little but it’s starting to feel like a battle every time. I’m starting to feel a bit like giving up and switching to formula. I wasn’t planning to do that until after we started weaning because I’ve read that breastfeeding helps their digestive system.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this just a phase?
