The last few days my baby is sliding off and on my left side. It's almost like she latches, and when milk doesn't immediately start flowing she slides off and then slurps the nipple/areola back in her mouth. She does this over and over. It's painful, and let down talks even longer since she isn't stimulating and sucking. Once she finally gets letdown she eats fine, and then when the milk slows she starts doing it again.
I have tried taking the boob away, thinking she is just playing but she gets FURIOUS and roots, fusses, cries until I put her back on. Only for her to do the latch, slideoff, slup thing again and again.
Is this just a developmental thing that is a phase and will correct itself with time? Or, do I need to do something to correct it?
