What is going on???

[liccy]

I have a 3.5 week old ebf baby with absolutely no issues at all until last few days.

Started with him being fussy with some feeds on the right side to him being very difficult with most feeds on that side. Fussing/agitated/pulling off and getting wound up obviously still wanting to feed.

And without any reason I can discern he’s now doing that with both sides?? He seems genuinely hungry but he just won’t latch, settle and feed.

There’s milk there loads of it but he’s just getting so wound up and pulling off?? I just have no idea what to do

*edit I got him stripped and we’re skin to skin he’s staying latched but doesn’t seem to be effectively feeding 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m panicking now that perhaps there isn’t milk there???

Freaking out in tears and completely confused

Sometimes they struggle with the latch as they are not on properly. Have a drink of water and sit comfortably and try to take some big calming breaths. You can do this. Hopefully someone with more recent experience will come along as I last fed a baby in 2000 but my sister is in your position. It will be OK

Any possibility he's overtired? If he's getting really frantic and doesn't seem to know what he wants, that could be the culprit.
