Right so my kiddo is doing well booby feeding. She pooing, weeing and gaining weight like there's no tomorrow. However. From say, 2pm- 8pm if she isn't sleeping it feels like she constantly wants to be on the boob. Sometimes she has a fussy latch where wants her hands rather than boob but after a minute she's on, sometimes she feeds for say a minute then unlatches herself and cries. It's all very on again, off again until she goes to sleep. Any ideas what the issue is? Comfort feeding? Cluster feeding? Over supply, under supply? Or is this all normal?

Between 8pm-2pm she isn't really a problem. Happy to feed from each boob and then settled to snoozeville pretty pronto.

Oh she's 3 weeks old and as I said she is gaining weight well.

My baby is ebf and has days where she does this and days when she doesn't. I find its worse when shes struggling with wind or if she is getting overtired from not napping. Infacol and getting her into a more regular nap routine have helped but even then sge still does it at times, particularly from 4pm onwards until shes down for the night xx

Thanks. I think my LO is getting over tired in the afternoon as she really struggles to settle - and that could be because of wind. My baby is otherwise fine.

I could have wrote that myself rooster! My little one doesn't sleep in the afternoon and gets very over tired. She will feed and fall asleep on the boob but she quickly wakes again crying quite hard with bad wind and a hard tummy. God help me if I try to put her in her basket, she will last two mins before screaming

Breast feeding just isn't easy! Plus getting my head around my daughter and struggling to understand what she's trying to tell me. Just wish I knew what to do for her during her fussy times.

Ah well. I feel a sense of accomplishment with her thriving on breastfeeding though.
