Anyone have this problem...

PrettyPrincess5

DD is almost 3 months. And about 3 weeks ago she started giving my problems while I was feeding her. She would start eating and then after about 4 mins on the first side she would stop and start crying. After the first time I was like ok, it was probably just something I ate or maybe she wasn't ready to eat.....

But then there will be a couple days in a row where its every feeding she will cry after a few minutes of starting.  I've tried changing positions but that doesn't seem to help. She barely ever has a bottle so that can't be the issue...

Anyone else have this problem and did you do anything to change it or just fight through the frustration?

Thats how my DD was acting and she was diagnosed with acid reflux, but she was also spiting up a lot. Try cutting out dairy, thats another thing my Dr. recommended.

Your flow or letdown may not be to your LO's liking. I would think she would be used to it by now though.

She doesn't spit up that much but thanks for the advice on the dairy.

 

Yea, I figured she be used to it as well. Most of the time she is a really good eater but she has her days where she does that. I wish I could figure it out though...

 Even with no spit up she could have silent reflux.

Hmm, I didn't realize. Thanks! I'll look into that.

My LO does that sometimes when she needs to burp mid-feeding. She'll gulp so fast the first few minutes that she apparently swallows a bunch of air.

Is that side empty?  At that age she is starting to get more efficient.  My daughter starting at about 4 months could empty one side in 5-7 minutes.

We have the same problem.  It happens very randomly and I have no idea why.  I've experimented with all sorts of things.  I only know that he never fusses during the first feeding of the day, he never fusses during his bottle (DH gives him one a day), and he'll stop fussing if I stand up and rock him while he nurses.

 Weird...
