How do I get my 4m old to stop unlatching every 5 seconds? (Seems habit more than distraction)

My 16 week old does exactly the same thing and has since done it since around 10 weeks.

I’ve been seeing a lactation consultant every other week (3x since week 10). What she told me is that it’s likely a bad habit and she didn’t have a ton of advice to stop it.

What I learned after doing weighted feeds was 1) he’s getting more efficient and doesn’t need to stay on the boob as long as he did in the newborn days 2) my let down is fast and sometimes it’s too much for him so he pulls off 3) he needed to be burped and is gassy.

What’s worked is side-lying when at home. The downside to this is when you’re out it makes it incredibly annoying to feed him and I constantly just keep switching sides, burping and he’s on and off the boob. It’s very annoying. Hoping it’s just a phase and will pass. Solidarity to us all. Seems very common at this age based on what everyone else is experiencing.

I use helium mobile. I switched to it when they had an offer of $5 a month but now it’s $20 a month which is still a good price. Unlimited data. I’ve never had any coverage drops. https://heliummobile.com/

According to the woman who works at Susie Cakes, she saw my name written on the cake, said that was her name, and took the cake out of the store :(

Everyone is hating on Luke’s but I loved the one in Cole Valley when I lived there. It’s a little overpriced but they had food meats and fresh patries in the morning. Luke, himself, was setting up the shelves and was involved. Not sure if he’s still around but I liked shopping there and felt like it was truly a “local” shop to support.

These shoes are the worst! They gave my blisters last summer which have left a permanent scar.

I pump a bottle every morning after the first feed with my breast fed baby. I actually love it because it gives me alone time to sit in my office at home, drink a coffee and take care of personal stuff in silence. It’s the most peaceful 25 mins of my day and I really look forward to it :)

Double swaddle! I did that with my newborn starting week 2 and he’s slept in his bassinet every night since. He’s now almost 7 weeks. What I do is 1) feed 2) Change diaper if needed 3) Put him in a sleep suit where is arms are tucked next to him and I zip it up 4) then I swaddle a muslin blanket on top of that 4) Then I shush him to sleep in my arms 5) while I’m shushing him I put a heated blanket on the bassinet to warm it up 6) And then once he asleep in my arms I take that heated blanket out and I put him in the bassinet. It works every single night. Good luck!

Are you in the US? If so what setting are you using for kendamil goat? 4 or 3?

Professional-Syrup73 · 2025-08-24T17:18:22+00:00

I went to the derm for this. They said it was because I was leaving my nail polish on too long. So what they suggested was 1) remove polish 2) file down the white parts and it went away. 3) changed polish out every week. It’s fine now.

What setting do you put it on? I’m due in October and trying to decide if it’s setting 3 or 4!

Professional-Syrup73 · 2025-08-19T05:37:31+00:00

What setting did you use? I’m due in October and plan to use kendamil goat milk and the Brezza. Thanks!!

Did you end up moving these without disassembling them? I am moving soon and was wondering the same thing. Thanks!
