My DS is almost 5 mo and is exclusively BF. We have a good routine at night of bath, into babygro, BF and then into cot once he is asleep. For the past week or two he has been resing to feed after his bath. He usually latches on eagerly, sucks for 30 secs or a minute then rolls onto his back (we do the last BF lying down next to each other on the bed) and stares at the ceiling usually while sucking his fingers / fist. If I try and encourage him to suck again, he just keeps his mouth closed, and sometimes smiles / goos at me! So I usually put him in his cot where he will start to cry after a few mins, then I get him out and try again. Sometimes have to do this up to 5 times before he feeds properly and falls asleep.
Anyone had any experience with this? Any ideas on what is causing it or ideas about what to do? It's making bedtime much harder and longer than it needs to be and I'm sure DS would be much happier without all this kerfuffle too!
