So my little girl loves her boob, and today has started the weirdest thing- for her last two feeds, even her one before bed which she usually falls asleep to and goes into her cot- she has been wanting the boob, snuffling her head into my chest, latching on then pulling back and dangling her head backwards crying, then tries to latch back on and does the same thing- then eventually gives in, has some- then when nearly asleep does the same thing.....? Has anyone else had this- she hasn't had wind, and burped her lots and she's done her daily poo today and is eating fine? She is teething, her top two are giving her grief but she's been eating fine with it so surely it can't be due to pain of her teeth? She shows she wants milk, and gets sad when I then bring her away from the boob... really worried

Sounds like teething, my little boy was the same with his teeth coming. Wanting to feed and then crying after latching was what he did too. Also just to mention it happened when he had tonsillitis but he was also noticeably unwell with a croaky voice and high temp. Hope this helps
was your little one eating okay though? I was thinking her teeth but then thought, surely she'd be fussy with her food too? Xxx
thankyou so much x

He wasn’t eating a lot of solids at the time tbh and I would mainly give him colder foods to soothe his gums. But sucking during breast feeding will put a different type of pressure on the gums compared to biting if you know what I mean? Hope she’s feeling better soon x
@Rachael Thankyou for commenting lovely, must be what it is- her top teeth have been super swollen and uncomfortable for her, bless her. Thankyou lovely x

Just remembered I used to make him milk pops with my frozen milk in his dummy feeder and that helped x

Definitely sounds the same as we have teething!
thankyou so much! Il definitely do this! X
