Hi
I’m EFB my 3 week old, in the last week she seems to be struggling whilst feeding. She will pull of, cry, flail her arms, cough and choke. Today she choked enough where she appeared to stop breathing, very briefly. She would just to latch back on after this, but I’m finding in the last few days she’s giving up and just falling asleep instead. I’m worried she will end up developing an aversion.
I’m assuming this could be fast let down however she will do this throughout the feed (not just at the start) a sometimes it stops and re starts and other feeds it doesn’t happen at all. When she pulls off, sometimes her mouthful of milk will spill out. When she pulls off there is no spray which makes me question if it is the let down? (When I hand express it does spray though).
I’ve tried reclined position, scissor hold and hand expressing a bit into a muslin however it doesn’t help. I’m reluctant to pump before each feed as I don’t want to encourage an oversupply.
she is a bit refluxy, putting on weight fine but haven’t weighed her since this begun.
Any suggestions?
