2 week old LO, trouble with breastfeeding
Hey all, I'm a FTM and my LO is just 2 weeks old. Recently she's been having issues with staying focused at feedings, she will eat for 5ish minutes and then pull off acting confused and frustrated (esp at my right side) and then it usually takes a couple minutes to get her calmed down and eating again. I'm not sure if she's going through a growth spurt or what but last night she didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time and was inconsistently feeding all night long. She finally slept this AM for awhile but I'm just concerned I'm not doing the right thing for her. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Re: 2 week old LO, trouble with breastfeeding
Your are doing the right thing by breastfeeding.. it can be frustrating at times but the benefits are worth every frustrating minute! My LO did this when by breasts were engorged because he was having troubles latching on. Could this be the problem?
I would also suggest calling a lactation consultant if your continue having trouble. (of you can just send me a private message if you want, I've recently helped a couple of my friends through breastfeeding troubles)
