 Topic: BREASTFEEDING HELP!
Posted: 18 December 2008 at 2:28pm |
 Here's a tricky one! I am breastfeeding my four and a half month old boy. Lately when he feeds he sometimes pulls off whilst clamping down hard on my nippple and pulls a 'YUCKY' face!!! He then pops back on, has a few sucks and it happens again! He looks like it tastes really yucky - like sucking a lemon! My diet has not changed and this is a recent development. Has anybody had experience with this?

Hmmm... maybe it's not taste but speed - could be your letdown is slower than it was (naturally happens to everyone, although it's usually around 3 months) and he's 'complaining' that he has to work harder? If it's that, he'll get used to it!
Otherwise, has anything else changed with you - I know you said your diet hasn't changed, but maybe with the warmer weather you need to be drinking more? (Or you have started drinking more juice, tea etc?) Or (this wasn't originally my idea but I forgot who it was, sorry!), have you started using a new deodorant, shower gel, moisturiser, perfume, sunscreen...?

Do you have your AF at the moment? I know when you do it changes the taste of your milk.

yeah I found when I got AF Em would get extremely fussy. But as you haven't got AF then it could be anything from the warmer weather affecting your supply or maybe you've started eating something new and it's coming thru your millk. I found the same thing happened when I ate mandarins or anything citrus-like.
