Feeding issues
Has anyone else who breastfeeds been having issues with their baby not latching properly all of a sudden? Popping on and off, very shallow latch etc. I am not sure if it is just a part of this regression period or if I am doing something wrong. I am getting very down on myself about it.
She does get a bottle while I am at work but she was fine the first few weeks that I went back.

Yes! It’s normal. They are becoming more aware. My baby will root around, latch and then turn her head the other way and pop off. She will do it over and over while crying if I let her. It gets to the point it hurts sooo bad. I end up taking her off and distracting her and retrying later on, but my baby will only do it after she’s eaten. It made me feel like she wasn’t getting enough milk, but it’s just because she has learned how to get milk down faster and more efficiently.
