Baby tugging and pulling nipple

Hi everyone, my almost 3 week old has been tugging and and pulling on my nipple while nursing the last few days… He usually does this I think around 10-15 mins into the feed on each breast.

If anyone has experienced this pls let me know why my baby may be doing this!

It’s just a way the fidget. I have my other boob covered so she doesn’t do it. And if she tries to grab the side she’s eating on I love her hands

oh okay. Are you referring to baby using their hands to grab and tug? I was talking about baby tugging/pulling with his mouth while nursing

Oh yes sorry I thought you u were talking about hands. That’s just what babies do. Pulling away to figure out things and what not

Mine is 8 weeks and does this, sometimes it's because he is gassy or trying to poop, so I take a break and wind him... But sometimes I have no clue why he's doing it and it's very frustrating and painful 🤔

My 2 week old is doing the same! Or spitting it out and reforcing a latch which can be painful! No idea why either x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
