last 2 days noa is muckin aabout when feeding
he dont latch on i have to push the nipple in his mouth for him to start suckin n then he letts go after a short while n panics cuz he let go n try n find it again.
i put him so he can latch on but he dont, he just lays there with the nipple in the mouth crying until i push it in properly..
is it just a lazy fase?

Is he actually hungry? Oscar is like this if I try and feed him and he ain't that fussed.

If he messes around whilst feeding try wearing a nursing necklace or just a sturdy one, it gives him something to play with to keep him feeding without becoming bored and fidgety. I wear a necklace for Oscar and it works wonders x

yea hes hungry but as he keeps on like this he dont eat properly n i have to feed more often. 3 times last night!
i think hes a little bit poorly aswell as hes very wingy n dont sleep properly.

Awww, that might be it. Oscar gets like that when he has a bit of a cold coming...

Aww yeah maybe sounds like he is a litttle poorly?

Owen was also like that when he was snotty. He's really easily distracted now when he's on the boob Yesterday when I was trying to dicreetly feed he came right off and smiled at FIL, great!! may try necklace!! good luck x

i never thought of that, maybe he cant breath properly cuz he got a snotty nose how stupis am I! what do i do, i got a nose sucktion thing but have never used it, surely u only use that when its propa blocked up?

I dunno but i heard they're really good. I so wish I had one when Oscar was poorly!
