Baby cries like he's still hungry and is impatient, please help

[GirlWiththeLionHeart]

Ebf my 11 week old ds but in the last week I'm feeling like he's not satisfied after his feeds.

Firstly he is getting very impatient and won't suck to bring the milk unless I play white noise. Otherwise he sucks for a second and comes off again, repeat x10 :( when I play the white noise he will suck well and ill get the let down and then he'll start gulping and be happy.

Then, he gulps for a bit but stops after a couple of minutes and I will switch sides and same thing again. He doesn't seem full and happy :( it just doesn't feel like there's much milk anymore as he use to gulp for a good 5-7 mins, now it's 1-3mins

I feel like its a vicious circle because he cries at the breast, which stresses me, therefore maybe my supply has dropped which leads to him being hungry which equals more crying :(

Please help its really upsetting. I would hate to stop bf as its been trouble free and I love it but I'm considering topping him up.

Not an expert but didn't want to read and run. I would offer more often I'd I were you, to encourage supply and so that he gets more milk in case your instincts are right and he's still hungry.
How long does he go between feeds? Does he feed at night? How is is weight gain?
I think sometimes they can get frustrated if they have to work very hard to get a let down but if you increase the number of feeds and the number of sides offered at each feed, your supply should catch up within a couple of days. Also I would not wait for him to be very hungry, just keep offering every two hours max.

Thanks for replying :)

He feeds very often during the day, at least every 2 hours but sometimes more inbeteeen. I offer it a lot to keep supply up too.

In the night his feeds have dropped a bit since he's got older so will only feed once or twice max at night, goes to sleep around 9/10pm then wakes for feed around 2 or 4am then he's up at 7am usually.

His weight seems good, only had him weighed once since midwife did it at home when he was 2 weeks old and he was 8lb3 then at the clinic at 8 weeks he was 12lbs. Will take him again this week to see what's happening

I was thinking it might be a growth spurt so my body can't keep up

This sounds like silent reflux to me - the need for distraction, crying after a short time as though there is no milk. Basically feeding causes pain which means stopping feeding which means crying but still hungry and etc etc. Have you been to the GP?

But he gulps it down after the let down and then when it's finished seems annoyed like he's still hungry? Didnt think of reflux but I guess it could be

But gulping for 3 mins sounds like a very short feed?

Exactly that's why I think my supply is low :( he used to feed for longer, now he'll come off and go back on and cry after sucking and I can hear there's no more coming out as he's not swallowing etc

Hmmm. I don't know. Your LO sounds as though they are distressed when feeding if there is pulling away, gulping, crying, needing white noise.

Please see a GP.
