Crying at breast

Hi what’s positions are you feeding her in?

Does she fall asleep during feedings?


Do you use nipple shield or straight skin to skin?

We had exactly the same problem. Couldn't understand what's the problem until I discovered that one burp wasn't enough, my little boy needed at least 2 burps.
Obviously, not sure if it's the same case for you.

@Amirah side lying or laid back/cradle hold are our go to positions.
Very rarely falls asleep at the breast although she does take breaks as she goes.
No nipple shield, always skin to skin. It's very odd because she was more than happy to just do a 30min feed and no issues afterwards, and the feed after she fed for 10mins, came off happy but within 30 seconds later started crying and hasn't stopped 😐

@Sintia hmm okay, will see if more burps come up but sometimes I don't even get one burp and she's angry 😵‍💫 do you reoffer the boob after the burp?

Has anything in your diet changed recently that could be upsetting to her stomach ?


Have you tried to pump and offer her a bottle and see if she still cries ?

I remember burp taking what seemed like forever to come out and then ofc had to get the secend one out as well. Tried out various of positios for the burp to come out too. But yes, after the burps I offered more boob and he took it. I could tell that he was still hungry, not finished eating. Minimum two burp thing really worked for us.

@Amirah sorry I didn't see the reply until now! No new changes to my diet at all, and about 70% of feeds are fine! But the remaining 30% she gets quite fussy and worked up :(
We have tried bottle but we are still trying to find a bottle / teat she likes consistently and she's never had a bottle feed yet that's ended peacefully so I don't think that's reliable 🫠🤔
