Clingy

[Veryshy1]

My little one is 6 months old and is very clingy. Has any one else had this problem? It tends to be really bad when he hasn't had a nap in the day and very tired.

How do you feel about going to the Bfing Group and discussing your Los weight gain too?

[Veryshy1]

I gave him some calpol which didn't really help. But have got some nurofen now, so can give him that.
Poor little man is having it a bit rough he's got a cold now

[Veryshy1]

I might pop to the breastfeeding group next week.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

I'd go to the bfing group. You really need to get them to observe a complete feed and discuss his weight gain.

If he's got a cold is that affecting his feeding?

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

How are you getting on with the feeding shy? Have you tried breast compressions yet? How often is he feeding?

[Veryshy1]

Hi I haven't heard of breast compression before. Don't think it's his cold because it was only today that he really got it.

[Veryshy1]

He feeds about every two hours and then twice a night normally. But last few days he's been waking up every two hours at night.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Do you feed him when he wakes at night?

There is some info on breast compressions here

[Veryshy1]

Yea he only settles if I feed him. Think he might use it for comfort at nights . Tried the compression and think I'm doing it wrong! Read about it and watch video. But still going a bit wrong.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Have you managed to get to the Bfing Group yet shy?

[Veryshy1]

No not yet. It's this Monday.
