Hi there,
My son is breastfed but in the last month has gotten more and more distracted while feeding, to the point where I'm worried whether he is getting enough. He's a fatty, and his weight gain has slowed but remains fairly steady.. I'm just concerned about this distraction direction!
He eats ok for about 3-4 mins, but as soon as it hits his tummy, he bobs on and off, looking at things, trying to smile at me, trying to chat. I think it's as soon as the flow starts to slow down. My boobs constantly feel half full afterwards, and every couple of days I have to express the remainder or one boob in particular starts getting sore from not being emptied properly.
His attention span seems to be getting worse rapidly. Do I assume he will get what he needs and do what I have to do to keep my boobs healthy, or do I try to teach him to eat properly?
Has anyone dealt with this, and how do I go about it?
Thanks
