Feeling cold/achy/shivery when breastfeeding?

My baby girl was born 3 weeks ago via emergency c section. For the past week we are now exclusively breastfeeding! Is it common to feel cold/achy/shivery from time to time when breastfeeding? I do not have mastitis or any issues with my C-section incision so do not think it’s a sign of infection. I’ve also not had much sleep and am still achy everywhere from C-section recovery.

Pumping/bottle

Hi guys, my LO is 15 days old and breastfed, I’m wanting to pump and introduce a bottle so that the dad can help out with feeding and also a little freedom for myself.. We’ve tried dummies and she won’t take them, which then makes me worry she won’t take a bottle:( at what point should I introduce a bottle so it’s not too late? And should I pump on the other boob when I feed her? TIA🫶🏽

Breast not feeling as full as it did

I’m 17days postpartum and I had to triple feed for a few days (from day 5 for a week) due to the baby’s weight dropping after birth. I phased out the pumping and bottle top ups and my breast was feeling quite hard at first until baby fed on it, but now my breast never really feels really hard. Baby seems to be feeding fine but I’m wondering if it’s expected to not feel like your breast is very full or if I should pump on the side to increase milk production.

Fussy inconsistent feeds

My 6.5 month old seems to suddenly be fussy with boobs. Even when hungry, if I offer one breast she will scream but will happily accept the other. Which boob this is alternates and sometimes she’ll happily accept both. When she does feed, about 80% of the time atm she’ll be on one boob for 5 minutes and then refuse the other. Even if she’s due a full feed (she’ll usually do 5 mins on both). She usually goes 1.5-2 hours between feeds but it’s now all over the place. Refusing milk after 3 hours. Refusing the boob in the morning even hours after waking, after not having a feed all night. Then only feeding for a few minutes.

Is this developmental? End of a growth spurt? She’s still having plenty of wet nappies and a noticeable increase in poos over the last few days.
