Baby is hysterically crying at breast

Trapped wind can cause mine to act like this. Even at the start of a feed sometimes he'll need a burp 🤷 maybe try some time upright before a feed to make sure there's nothing that needs bringing up.

I combi feed but my boy got extremely fussy and irritable around the 6 week mark, think he was going through a growth spurt/leap. He was particularly fussy on the boob. Took a bottle a bit better but even that would only have a couple ounces and just be so irritable after like he wanted more but wouldn’t take it. He got over it about 5-7 days later x

I have this with my little one when he gets too hungry and wants milk asap. As they have to ‘work’ harder to get milk from the boob, rather than the bottle which is much easier to get milk from, he gets frustrated if he’s too hungry. I try to feed him before he has too many signs of hunger on a 2 hour schedule and it works a lot better with him latching. Hope this helps xx

I’m going though the exact same as you, my LO is 6 and a half weeks old and it’s now been like this for 2 weeks and I’m going crazy :( I’m seeing a lactose consultant this Tuesday but I hear you and worry it might lead me nowhere.. I do my best at winding him all the time but my feeling is that he’s going through a massive growth spurt and I am hoping / praying(!) it will pass soon. In the meantime I express my milk when he’s just not having it and I’ve even had to give him extra top ups of formula as he’s always hungry(!) but at times he’ll also be quite agitated with the bottle… very odd. Anyways I hope it passes soon as it’s been really hard I have to admit.

My son was doing this when he had oral thrush. Would try to latch then throw his head back and scream. He had a thick white coating on his tongue
