Latching, unlatching and getting aggy!

My baby is 2.5 weeks old and keeps latching and unlatching from one breast, he gets himself all worked up and frustrated - he will be thrashing his head and arms around, is hungry but just won’t stay latched! It’s not every time we feed..

Any thoughts on why this is? suggestions or tips to help?

Happening to me too! Wondered if it was colic but can’t find anywhere to buy infacol to try it yet

cluster feeding most likely. they fuss at the breast which stimulates supply increase for growth spurts

Heya sorry you are struggling. Is it possible you have an oversupply or faster let down or flow
on one side? If your breast is hard and engorged they can struggled to nurse. I have a large oversupply and if I haven’t expressed at least 2 a day my baby really struggles to feed. Once I have expressed she is fine. Best of luck

My baby does this when she is trying to do a poo! I presume it’s uncomfortable for her and she gets upset: I lay her on her back and do bicycle legs and also rub her tummy xx

Infant dyschezia, help!!!!

My baby was 10 weeks old yesterday and I think he has Infant dyschezia. Before 6 weeks he pooed after every feed, mustard colour and seeded (breastfed baby) and wasn’t in any pain. Then since 6 weeks he’s been going once a day and the colour has changed to brown, watery mucus, he is in so much pain screaming and crying real tears. I’ve taken him to the doctors 3 times and they just say he will grow out of it or it’s down to his vaccines (even though he only had them a week ago). Other than when he’s trying to pass wind or poop, his a very happy baby, smiling and laughing away. What do I do? Can post pictures of poop if needed.

Do Tesco stock 0.5 tog sleeping bags atm?

Can't see any on their website

Share your recommendation and experience please

I’m a first-time mum and would love some recommendations for a good nappy brand that you’ve personally found to be leak-proof, gentle on sensitive skin, and overall parent-friendly to use. I’d really appreciate your opinions and experiences.

Can I start breastfeeding at 4 months

I am a first time mom and I chose not to breast-feed my baby and mainly focused on formula feed. Hes never latched or anything. Is it too late to start or try it out? I don’t know what to start. Does anybody have any tips?

Anyone else’s baby end up like this every morning?

No matter how far I put her to the left side she always ends up moving right up to the right side? I do move her back when I notice but I’m just worried she’ll end up there for a prolonged period of time if I don’t wake up for a while?

Help :(

My baby is 17 weeks / 4 months today. Since 9 weeks old he hasn’t had a night feed and was going to bed around 7ish, waking around 2-3am taking his dummy and going back to sleep until 6ish. He was teething Monday-Wednesday and got cold/flu symptoms with that and so started waking more in the night and needing feeds. (He is exclusively breastfed). This has continued and the last 2 nights have been waking every 1-2 hours and needing feeding to get back to sleep. I feel like a zombie. Wondering whether it could be the teething, the heat and needing more fluid or a regression.
Has anybody tried switching from a next to me crib to a big cot? Wondering whether to do this and then whether to have the cot in our room or to try him in his own room but I am hesitant to do that and not hear him / the monitor over his white noise machine. TIA xx
