He sometimes splutters, but has been better when i manage to nurse on one side. We went along to our breast feeding support group who advised us to do this, they said I had an over active letdown. It doesn't spray in his face so much now so I presumed it had stopped..... Or he is controlling the flow better.
We're experiencing:
Fast weight gain.
Short feeds between 5/8 minutes is normal.
Fussing. Off and on the breast
Take the 1st breast for a few minutes then refuse it but will happily accept the other.
Repeated mastitis.
Always hungry.
Waking every 1/2 hours at night.
Green poo
Sometimes can smell funny (which I understand can be due to lactose fermenting in the gut??)
In the main he does put himself to sleep independently. (In the daytime we use a dummy) at night I can literally plonk him in the cot and he will put himself to sleep. Same with the NW once he has fed, I just plonk him down and he is off. He does it himself in the daytime with the help of a dummy, I often wait with him until he is asleep and pull his dummy out.
I just read the symptoms and thought it sounded a lot like us..... And thought it also tied in with the NW?
Well I think we have done better today with feeding less frequently so I'll see how we get on tonight.
Thanks again for all your help x
