19+1 TIPs what to consider when your baby is unsettled during feeding
Why does my baby cry during breastfeeding? I offer my breast and she refuses, I offer cuddles and she is unhappy. I put her down then she cries even more.
What can be the reason?
Sore mouth
Too intense milk flow
Poor milk flow
Too fast flow
Thrush
Wind
Reflux
Tiredness
Temperature
Uncomfortable
What you ate
Food allergy
Milk allergy or intolerance
Position - if baby needs to turn his head and it is becoming tiring or painful
Tongue tie
Hunger
Teething
Nipple aversion
Boob strike
OR
Because I took the pen she was bashing me with off her. (BFing a toddler!)
So, I think you can be reassured that it is not your fault! There is a good chance that you do everything right and you are wonderful and you are really good at breastfeeding! Do not give up ever until your baby needs you.
Chin up!
