fussing at the breast!

[Zal88]

I'm sitting in the dark, trying to calm him down but he's fussing at my breast so much! He's been doing this quite a lot recently and I don't know why. I'm so upset, shall I just give up? I'm in pain and I feel as though today my breasts are soft and theres not much in, probably why he's feeding almost every hour... What to do?

Growth spurt? Try and hold out Hun as It prob won't last long.

How old is your little one? I think around the same age as mine, 13 weeks today. I think he just finished major growth spurt, feeding hourly and really long feeds instead of his usual 5 mins. He has been fussy in the evenings. I felt like I had no milk as when I was expressing I was getting zero! And the previous week he had jumped den a weight centile...... But now I'm super engorged and all he wants to do is sleep!

I think the fussiness and feeding frequently is baby's way of increasing your milk supply.....so he can grow more. Try and stick with it if you can.

At 3months ur boobs will feel empty. They are NOT!! It's just supply settling a wee bit. A growth spurt will mean fussiness for a few days, feeding like a newborn etc, but it does pass. The first leap/spurt is the worst. Xxx
