Ouchy!!

My LO when feeding has started to almost fight me whilst on the boob. She arches her back up and kicks and flails hers arms about all this while still attached to my boob and feeding

She gets all red in the face and if she does let go of the nipple she starts to scream at me until i put her back on.

I have checked she is comfortable and i am not squashing anything, her latch is fine and i definately have milk.

I thought it may be her getting frustrated at the flow of the milk but she does it throughout a whole feed so i dont think its that.

Anybody have any ideas as to what the prob may be, or had any similar experiences. Did try and explain it to the HV when she first started to do it on the odd occasion, she told me it is something to do with the rooting reflex but she now does it nearly every feed so i aint sure.

Might pop along to a breastfeeding group next week if it continues as i dont like to see her that way and my nips are getting rather sore

I know what you mean about LO trying to look at something and taking the nipple with her

I feel so bad for her as she doesnt seem to wanna just latch on and feed and stay on, i am continously re attaching her throughout the feed.

Have my six week check this week so will get the doc to check for thrush but i have had a quick check in her mouth and she doesnt have the tell tale white coating.

She is generally happy in herself although she tends to be more whingey lately but i think thats because she has found her proper cry now

At the moment shes got a really rough latch on then tries to look around the room trying to take my nipple with her and holds my boob like a beaker ..a hand full of skin each side ..lil menace

Why does that sound painfully familiar...??? not to mention the horse bites under the arms too... and the latch on where she misses the nipple and gets a latch on another part of the boob and give me a hicky...

lol, Eva gave my OH a hicky the other week, she managed to get a big mouthful of the soft bit on his inner arm! now he is very careful holding her when she is due a feed!

Lola's doing this as well she'll latch on to anything. She even tried it on my thigh today

She'll also hold onto my boob and no matter how short i cut her nails their still like little razor blades
