Hi all,

Was wondering if any of you could offer me some advice.

Tamzin is 12 days old today and has really taken to breastfeeding, that is untill last night.

She woke for her feed at 10:00pm and fed for about half an hour. We then took her upstairs by 11:15 to put her down for the night. But she just wouldnt latch on to my right breast, shed feed for a minute or two but then pulled away, she kept doing this for about 20 mins. Hubby tried winding her and changed her and then I tried her on the left side again, she fed a little and then finally settled by 12:30am. That was totally out of charecter for her. She normally settles straight away after her feeds. She did the same after her 4am feed too, she stayed awake till after 5am.

She was fine after her morning feed at 8am and lunch at 12:20. But she has just done the same again now after her 4pm feed.

She hasnt pooed much today, could she have a tummy ache?

Has anyone else experianced this?

Thanks

Hi, it could be wind or it could be that she is going through a growth spurt and is impatient at waiting for the milk to start flowing so she is getting frustrated. you could try to express a little first to get the milk flowing so she doesnt have to work to get it. x
