screaming @ feed times

[jingleboobs]

hi my lo is 21+6 exclusively bf with an odd ff wen im at work which is two days a week and the rest is bottles of ebm

the problem is over the last two days shes been screaming half way thru her feeds about the time my letdown reflex kicks in anmd shes seems to get really upset and i'm worried

could anyone help me please with some suggestions

bumping for you

Hi both my children have had some screaming problems at feed times. One was ff and the other bf.

I took them to the cranial osteopath. It helped with ds(FF). He had had a forceps/ ventouse birth and it was all connected. Also he could only handle a really slow flow of milk even on the slowest teats.

With dd it seemed to be that she was really tired plus again it was the flow. I have a really fast let down. Do you??

Also I tried Infacol which helped too. Sometimes its wind. It sounds like its similar to her though if it happens when you feel the let down.

Good question about the fast letdown, princess...might well be that.

Jingle - have you been expressing a lot more than usual, which would raise your supply sky-high and overwhelm her, I wonder?

no i have a fast let down but dont do expressing much as i seem to not be able to get any out she seems to hardly be feeding

like i said she is 21=6 weeks and has not had a single problem yet

she has bf without a problem she went thru a stage the other week of feeding al the time

i wonder if its because whilst im at work in bot feeding but have tried expressing but it wont work

How many times do you breastfeed her, jingle?

about every three hours day and night but she clusters in the morning then wen im at work she hasd maybe 5 oz all day if shes lucky like i said she has ebm and forumla whilst im at work and i express as im feeding

oh she also only takes one side at a time or shes sick

Here's a thought: your experience last week of her feeding all the time has bumped up your supply and this is causing the over-fast let down.

It should settle down soon

What do you think?

maybe with that and teething

Oooh, sorted, then!

Maybe.....!
