thanks so much for all the-i honestly don't know how i'd have survived the past 20 weeks without this site!xxx
i got such a fright the first time she did it, i jumped & yelped....felt AWFUL then coz i ovbiously scared her-poor pet started to cry which nearly made me start!!! i'm holding back the yelps now-just about!
she has no teeth yet,so i'm thinking she may be starting to teethe maybe?she is dribbling but no more than usual & doesn't seem to have any other symptoms.i've noticed the past 2 days though,for the daytime feeds,she is feeding less & gets quite cross with me when i lay her back across my lap (after a burp or whatever) but is in flying form as soon as i sit her back up-in other words, cross when she thinks she has to feed but fine otherwise!!!'could that be linked to the teeth maybe?
she seems to clamp down after sucking for 5-7 mins-i feel like she's had her fill at that point so i've been much more aware of her latch the past couple of feeds and can kind of feel the change as she goes from suck suck suck to CLAMP!
i'm single side feeding.always have!!!!i know i should probably be using both,but tbh,i had forgotten that rule!!!!i always found it impossible to tell when one side was "emptied"!!there are mornings when i think that she has drained one side, & yet i'll pump 2oz from that same side 30 mins later.
honestly,there are times when i think formula feeding would have been so much easier....sorry...just having a bit of a tough day
