Crying BF baby
My baby is almost 20 weeks and is EBF. I find during some feeds (excluding the night feeds when she’s pretty much asleep) she gets quite worked up and cries at the breast. When I squeeze my boobs there’s plenty of milk and I stop regularly to burp / aid digestion. I’ve tried quiet places, putting a muslin around her so she’s not distracted etc. It tends to happen with my left breast but can sometimes happen with the right breast too. She poos and wees a lot during the day.
Is anyone else going through this?

Yep just refuses to feed or is off and on a lot and gets very gassy, especially on the left! Makes me nervous to feed in the wild so we mostly stay home for feeds. My first born was the same unfortunately, I never found a way to manage other than feed in a dark quiet room which is very limiting
My baby is the same and it is reflux.
My advice would be to see the gp.
My baby now takes omeprazole and it is a bit better but still cries st the breast at times so I pump and gave her the bottle and it seems a bit better. They also think she might have a bit of cow’s milk intolerance so I am on a diet to help with the gas
Yes! She just seems very distracted by whatever else is going on. If she gets too fussy or upset, I switch sides and she seems to settle then. I thought it might be because I hold her better when she feeds on the left! Glad to hear someone else is going through the same😅X
