Loss of suction during feeding

5 replies

Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? DD is 7 weeks old and feeding is going well and she's gaining weight. I'm pretty confident her latch is good and there's no pain. But just recently she's started to lose suction at every feed when she sucks, making a sort of squelching sound. Any clues what this might be?

I think I know what you mean, have yo tried taking her off, drying your breast and around her mouth and trying agian?

Thanks for the reply. I've tried taking her off and relatching but not drying my breast. Do you think this would make a difference?
