I would suggest looking into finding another osteopath and making an appointment with them, though Bizzy makes a good point about fast letdown - are you able to try expressing off a little before a feed to try and slow down the flow?

Alternatively you could latch her on, wait until you notice the letdown starting, then unlatch her and 'catch' some of the initial milk in a cloth flat or similar. ]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:27:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824403&title=fussing-at-breast#824403 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824154&title=fussing-at-breast#824154 Author: skp

sounds like reflux but I'm no expert. Our DD has gone through terrible reflux and on bad days will still do this with a bottle, apparently they want to feed cause it soothes the burning, but when the milk gets to the tummy it creates the burning so its like a vicious circle

sounds a bit like that fast let down that some women seem to have problems with. i dont know much about it but apparently the kellymom website is helpful.]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:42:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824134&title=fussing-at-breast#824134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824069&title=fussing-at-breast#824069 Author: FionaS

Are you still taking her to an osteopath?]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:46:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824060&title=fussing-at-breast#824060 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824059&title=fussing-at-breast#824059 Author: FionaS

Ashley is 12 weeks old. She is usually a wonderful, happy and calm feeder but for a couple of days she's been coming on and off, twisting, crying (hard pain cries) during feeds. She's been randomly having big pain cries between feeds too but as been generally fine, albeit wanting to sleep a lot. She seems really hungry and keeps signalling that she wants to eat but after a few sucks comes off, cries etc. The milk ends up going everywhere so we both end up in a mess :) Tonight it took me 6 attempts to complete her last feed...she wanted it but just kept coming off and crying.

Any idea what this could be?

I've read babies can be fussy during growth spurts and we haven't had the 12 week one yet but I seem to have a load of milk so am not sure she'll need to increase my supply anytime soon.

As far as I can tell she doesn't have thrush (she did have it and it didn't bother her).

I'm confused! She doesn't seem at all happy about whatever it is...]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:45:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29688&PID=824059&title=fussing-at-breast#824059
