Harry is 7 weeks on Thursday and has been happily feeding up until this week when he has started to cry after being fed for a few mins. it was initially only evenings but is all day now. He used to be winded and then he was fine but now continues to cry until he has been winded for ages (over an hour). The thing is I gave him some EBM last night and he did'nt have this problem and during the night when my breasts were full and he fed he also did not have the problem. He is sick on occasions but not a lot. Could it be milk oversupply? Or is he really hungry and can't get enough so he ends up gulping air and gets trapped wind. Gripe water works a bit but is not a massive help.
p.s I don't have engorged breasts often only at night as LO sleeps from 2130 until 0300 and I don't manage to express much only about 4oz.

Don't have any advice - just sympathy as Beth's feeding has deteriorated over the last few weeks and I am hating it.

Big hugs - hope things get better for both of us soon. xxx

Yes I hope so too I thought breastfeeding was meant to get easier not harder. Big hugs back and you too try and keep yr chin up
