5 week old comfort feeding

[Apple871]

I have a 5 week old dd who is ebf. At night she feeds frequently and either falls asleep at the breast or is drowsy and easy to settle (most of the time). This is similar for the mornings also. In the afternoons she feeds and then pulls off the breast likes she’s finished. I sometimes put her on the other breast. Once she’s finished feeding she still makes signals like she is hungry (rooting etc) so I put her back on breast and she is happy till the milk comes out (presumably as she is full). Then she screams and cries and is difficult to settle. Chomps on the nipple then gets angry! Means daytime feeding is tricky and fussy! I’ve tried a dummy and distracting her with toys but only thing that works is being rocked or swayed to sleep. Is this likely to be a phase or growth spurt? Anything I should do differently?

Totally normal. :) just ride it out!

Totally normal if really annoying. The boob is all they know and they’re quite attached to it.

At this point they are very much like sharks (eat and poo, eat and poo).

Thanks both. Quite happy to let her comfort feed, it’s just she cries so much after when the milk comes out (as she is full) :-(

Mine does this too and has done since around that age maybe younger. I've not realised Lo seems to appear to root when tried and gets very unhappy when milk comes out and chomps down alot. I now (provided a decent feed has recently ended) either put in sling or swing in my arms usually with white noise for only a few minutes and lo is sound asleep.
