Ebf baby grunting and forced to stop breastfeeding!

Monixxx • Baby born March ‘19. TTC #2

Any advice ladies? My 5 week old grunts and strains and goes all red in the face. At first I thought he was stretching but now I’m really concerned. It’s been going on since week 2.

I burp him after his feed (I exclusively nurse) and he usually spits up quite a lot.

Recently he’s been passing a lot of wind too. However yesterday was his first BM/poop in 48 hours. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

My husband keeps saying it’s my breast milk and wants me to switch to formula which makes me feel inadequate and I end up breaking down and crying when he says this.

Please help or share your experiences if you’ve gone through something like this. I’m at the end of my tether.
