hi, DS is 6 weeks old, and we have been doing ok with EBF. Over the past 72 hours, he has had a cold. he has been taking slightly shorter feeds, but nappies have been still full etc. I always latch him on on demand, but today I have sometimes latched him on and he has taken the initial let down, then started beahving very strangely, a variety of... - pulling around, falling into a deep sleep quickly, waving arms around, pulling off, grunting, writhing. I am used to all of these behaviours at different times, and don't let them worry me usually (anymore!), but he is doing this so soon into a feed, I am not sure what to do. Several times today he has gone on, fed a minute or so, then the above behaviours have started, usually resulting in him falling asleep soon after then letting go. He then realises he has come off and starts screaming (a different sort of scream from hunger I think), then we try again and the cycle repeats itself. I then wonder if he's not hungry at all, but wants to suck to sleep, which is fine if he stays asleep, but the cycle goes on time after time - feed a couple mins, fall asleep, come off, cry, go on, fall asleep .... over and over again. In the end we did just try a dummy and he fell off to sleep (for over an hour) after sucking on it for quite a while (he didn't complain at all about there not being any milk coming from it!). I plan to continue offering the breast whenever he seems to want it, but I am not sure whether to let him carry on the cycle of on/suck a bit/get uncomfy or fall asleep and come/pull off so many times. thanks very much for reading (another of my!) long and rambling posts !!
