My 9wo has started to get really fussy and unsettled at the breast. He eats well to start, but then starts to shake his head, push away, fus, then relatches, sucks a few times and starts the process over again, and again, and again... I can see milk in his mouth, so not sure if it’s lack of supply? Sometimes giving him a pacifier/dummy will settle him and he'll close his eyes sucking away.
Not sure if this is him being tired/over tired or him being hungry and the pacifier/dummy is just masking his cues? He is exclusively breastfed and has a dirty diaper every 3 or so days and has regular wet diapers throughout the day.
He has seemed really unsettled in the evenings the past few nights, but no excess wind etc. So makes me feel like he’s not getting enough? He has taken a few bottles in the past, but has refused them the past few days - almost looks like I've betrayed him when I tried to sneak one in as a dream feed. But then he seems to be annoyed when I put him to the boob? Really not sure what he’s wanting!
