Yes, my dd did this when she needed winding. A quick burp and she would go back on no problem

Is there any milk coming out? Has she got a fever?

Do you want to try again with your dd? ...or are you just wanting to ascertain that its normal ready for next time?

It could have been a fast let down.

Feeding lying down helped me with that.

There are other things you can do to stop a fast let down. Feeding from the same side two feeds in a row i think.

Tiktok may have some advice or you can search in the archives.
