Ugh I am getting impatient and I feel terrible but this is awful. This whole week during the day my DD will hungry cry do I put her on the boob and she well eat for a few minutes and then pull away uninterested. Then once I give up and try to go about the day she well hungry cry again not 20 minutes later, repeat cycle over and over. I am so jealous of people getting 2 or 3 his between feeds! I only get that if age naps which is not lately...is feel trapped and like I am ding something wrong. Any advice?

I too have a snacker.  I find if I saddle him and give him a soother he will nap, otherwise I am on the same hamster wheel you're on.  Good luck!

I noticed that if DS fusses like that at the breast he either needs to be changed or needs to be burped. Once he is comfortable again he can usually continue the feed without issue. Good luck!

DS is on my boob all day. He wants to nurse to fall asleep because he won't use a pacifier.

I have a snacker too... to help speed up the process of feeding I started expressing my milk and supplementing through bottlefeeding so that the timings between feeds would get longer. If you're open to supplementing pumped milk, you could try... not all babies take to it though. Also, during certain growth spurts, DS comes back to ask for boobs only...

How about a pacifier?  Works for us!
