DS will be 6m next week and I've started to introduce solids, which he is going after with gusto.
However he has become very whiney unless he has constant access to the breast, much more so even than when newly born. He takes a couple of sips, little play or chat, few sips, stare around the room, play with hands, few sips, etc. All day atm... When I try to cover up / put him dowm he gets cross and begins to root urgently. He is grabbing and playing with me quite a lot too, which is painful.
Didn't have this with DD who seemed happy with a good long feed every few hours once solids came on the scene.
Possibly teething, too, loads of dribble going on.
So what am I actually asking here... Can anyone advise me whether I should just leave my bra off for a few days and stick DVDs on (again), or should I start trying to encourage him to find other activities. Having a phased return to work from end of Feb and am beginning to think about mixed feeding, but would like to keep the convenience of bfing at night for as long as possible, so trying to resist that.
Not making a lot of sense at the mo, sorry, almost too tired to see the screen and have small man objecting loudly to me turning away for a bit! Thanks.
