My 5 week old has recently started wailing, crying & thrashing at the breast after latching & nursing successfully for 1 or 2 minutes.
We are still nursing enough for good weight gain, but it's getting stressful!
I think my let-down triggers it, so I have tried nursing lying down, pulling her off during let-down, and this helps but is not 100% successful.
She is VERY windy, and we're not always getting good burps out of her.
My supply is plentiful & I think my let-down is pretty forceful, but this is my first child, so I'm not sure what a "normal" let-down is.
What is a normal let-down like? Any advice or help?
