Breastfeeding issues
Hey ladies! Anyone had any issues breastfeeding? My LO just turned 8 weeks yesterday and for the past couple of days when I put her to the breast she fights me. She pushes away and shakes her head but eventually takes it. Afterwards, she will only feed for like 4 or 5 minutes. I’ll burp her and try to re-latch her but 9 times out of 10 she won’t take it unless I switch her to the other side. She will then feed on the other side for about 4 or 5 minutes also. The lactation consultant said that she’s what they call a barracuda, just means that she’s efficient enough to get what she needs in 10 minutes and be full. I mean I know she’s eating but is it normal for her to fight so much while I’m trying to latch her? She’s obviously hungry at the beginning so why is she fighting?
