Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this - my 5 month old (EBF) seems to be feeding less recently. He is finally in a better sleeping routine and since he’s been sleeping better, he doesn’t want to feed as much :( when I do feed him, he gets so distracted and doesn’t stay latched on meaning he isn’t getting much milk and has definitely lost weight! I’m praying it’s a phase and I’m so not ready to give up breastfeeding😣

My little one has been the same. The health visitor said babies can feed less when they are teething. I struggle feeding out and about now as my little one gets so easily distracted 😅 my friend suggested putting a muslin over my shoulder and baby's head to stop her looking around whilst feeding, I haven't tried it yet but worth a shot 😂 x

Mines the same, I think he's just better at emptying the breast though because he still has lots of wet & dirty nappies xx

Mine too she pulls it out her mouth pinches it puts it back in flails her arms every where coos laughs I’m like girl cmon now 😅
