Sudden latching trouble?

Hi there
I've been EBF my baby since birth and we haven't had any trouble with it. He does have a tongue tie, though it's never been an issue.
Suddenly at 9 weeks, he's starting to take longer to latch and keeps pulling off and on the breast. To keep him feeding on there, I seem to have to hold my breast in position in his mouth
I'm not sure why this is happening all fo a sudden.
Just wondering if anyone has any similar experiences
If it keeps up I'll seek help but for now I'm just curious about anyone else

Sometimes it can be that we haven’t taken into account that our baby has grown and we need to adjust the position of their bottom accordingly! Try going back to basics (ensure they’re at the height of the nipple, neck extended, nipple pointing up nose, etc), shift them towards their feet a little, and see if that helps

That makes sense! I'll give it a go. I do think it's a positioning issue. I tried lying down feeding and it wasn't a problem then Thanks so much!
