  Does your LO sleep their longest sleep stretch when its over? Most infants will clusterfeed before what they think is bedtime because they will be sleeping for longer....just stocking up on food. The goal would be to get that cluster feed right before bedtime!

  Mine gets fussy because of an overactive let down. Usually he'll be gasping and pull off with a mouth full of milk. Not sure if that's what's happening, just thought I'd chime in

  I think it's because she has to burp. She will feed for like 8 mins and start fussing and then burp. She will act like she is still hungry but if I keep her upright on me, she will fall asleep. So I have just stopped feeding her when she starts to fuss. We will see how this works!

  Yeah, my lactation consultant said any time they pull off to burp them.

  So, this used to be us, but then it started spreading to the mornings, and then mid-day feeds as well. We finally got baby Zantac (for reflux) just this afternoon. I think we're already seeing a huge difference but I'll give it a few days to declare victory.  My LO didn't have many of the classic reflux symptoms (no vomiting, no failure to thrive, etc.) but he did get more and more fussy after the first few minutes at the breast and pull off and eventually scream while still being hungry.  I also have a forceful letdown which can cause reflux (sorry kiddo ).

  
  

  That's been our experience but it could be a number of things... I wish you luck in figuring it out.
