Breastfeeding ?

G's is doing this thing now where he pops on and off the breast constantly while eating.  He'll latch, take a couple of 'drinks', and then pop off and do it over again.  I've tried burping him but that doesn't help.  I've tried ending the feeding but he screams until I put him back on.  I don't think it's letdown because he does it throughout the entire feeding, not just at the beginning.

Is this just a normal thing, or is something wrong?  He doesn't act like he's bothered by it.  He's still having wet diapers and sleeping and acting normal otherwise.  I, on the other hand, am annoyed!  I wish he would just eat! :P

    Um, yes, I always incorporate primary colors in my nights out on the town.  Rolls eyes.

    This is normal in my life as well.  I am annoyed by it too.  I do take her off and let her come back to it later, when she is more hungry.  I can't deal with constant nursing and the pull off the boob hurts!  She does it pretty forcefully.

    This exactly! If I go in her room and turn the light off she will usually concentrate on eating. If there is TV or anything else going on, forget it.
  • The website for the necklace actually says this: "Little Black Dress Worthy - NO.  A Must-Have Accessory for an Innocently Pinched Mom - YES!"

    Cris, any reason you chose that one?

    I've been wanting one of these but I'm debating between that one and one that's more fashionable.

  • Each baby falls into their style of breastfeeding early on.  Kash was one of those that would look away, but take me with him!  OUCH!!!
