You can check your diet I use a website called joyfulbelly.com
Type in choleric in the search & check all the foods that reduce/aggravate to know what to eat/what not to eat. Once I limited foods from the aggravate choleric our baby stopped crying so much .. best of luck 🙏

I remember there were days I used to get worried for the similar reason when my little one was around 10-12 weeks. A couple of reasons could be there
- if it’s a recent occurrence, it may be that your supply just regulated and your initial let down would have slowed down. If so, just continue to feed and baby would slowly understand.
-if it’s from a long time, then I would suggest to check how your latch is-if baby is getting sufficient milk
- or other times it can be due to fast let down as well due to a very good supply (they struggle to feed)-if so, express a bit initially then feeding might be helpful
- gas might be another reason, could try burping in between feeds and see if it’s helpful
- dairy allergy/ reflux- check colour of stools and other symptoms if present
Feeding for less time may be because they learnt the skill fast or they are full faster, provided the latch is good.
Take care and talk to your doctor/ health visitor if concerned
