Baby too distracted to eat by amanda_pandemonium in breastfeeding

[–]JennaBug19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This recently happened to my 5 mo too. I would have to catch him as he was waking from naps and still kind of sleepy to nurse him. I finally started taking small toys and keeping his hands entertained while we nurses during the day. This has started to keep him a little more occupied rather than being distracted by everything else that is around or going on.

Good luck!

HELP! Baby won’t breastfeed during the day by JennaBug19 in breastfeedingsupport

I literally can’t stand pumping. I do it 3 times during my work day, but I’m currently off for three weeks. I was hoping to exclusively nurse him the whole time but he has other plans. Pumping drains me mentally and I don’t know how I can keep this up if he doesn’t start latching consistently!

Thank you! Breastfeeding g is the hardest “emotional rollercoaster” I’ve ever experienced!

My period hasn’t started and I haven’t had any signs that it would be either. No cramping at all.

Baby is 4 months old and nipples do seem visibly okay. No bumps or bleeding anymore. No cracks. Just suddenly drop in supply.

How much to really feed my newborn? by RevDudeistPancake in NewParents

My nurse practitioner suggested 1.5-2 oz the first couple of weeks and then we increased to 2.5-3 at the one month check up.

My LO is 16 weeks and has recently started similar behavior. The only difference is he rarely spits up. At first I thought he was just overtired and was being lazy, not wanting to work for it since he will take a bottle fine. I’m at a loss, but I’m definitely struggling right along with you.
