8-month-old baby gets seriously frustrated that letdown isn't coming soon enough. It's been this way ever since my milk supply regulated at around 10 weeks/2 months and my breasts were no longer full with oversupply. He seemed to love a 'full' breast, because it meant that milk was immediately there and he didn't have to stimulate letdown to reach it. This problem has meant that the only time I can feed him with ease is in his sleep, as a 'dream feed'. It's been really challenging. Sometimes, he's so frustrated that he doesn't even realise that letdown has been stimulated and he completely misses the opportunity to drink away! He also doesn't like for me to stimulate letdown myself and then pop him back onto the breast - he seems to want to be the one to stimulate it. If only he'd relax and be patient, our breastfeeding experience would be a breeze again.
Any guidance for me, anyone? It's been a tiring 6 months, but I'm determined to find an answer!
Thank you.
