why does my baby keep doing this?? i’ve been having a hard time breastfeeding the last 3 days. She is 11 weeks old

Question

Answer

She seems like she is distracted. My 4 week old does this though and it’s because I have a really intense letdown. She’s learned she can just put my nipple barely in her mouth and it’ll just pour out so she gets lazy sometimes when the letdown hasn’t even happened yet 😂

Answer

This is almost exactly what I'm currently dealing with, with my 5 week old! Only mine gets really frustrated and upset, and she'll push back from my breast (without actually letting go) and then she'll get upset once she's off my nipple. So I'll help her latch again, only for us to go round and round like this. It's weird because she doesn't do this in the middle of the night feeds. I'm going to meet with an LC this week to try and get some insight as to what's going on

Answer

my baby does this too at times so I'm curious as to what people have to say about it

Answer

Do you u have a heavy let down? May be too intense for her. I notice my son let's go when too much milk is flowing

Answer

Also: I tried repositioning her, lowering her, i myself change positions. Nothing seems to work she just keeps unlatching. I’ve had no problems with breastfeeding up until 3 days ago.
