ok so my son will nurse for maybe 5-10mins then unlatch and just start fussing instead of eating when he's hungry. I'm trying to only nurse him now since he is actually willing to do it. Can someone give me some tips to get him to nurse longer?

I know it sounds mean but let him fuss. If he unlatches, let him. Go through the motions like normal - burp him, etc. Once he gets hungry enough he will latch back on and continue eating.

@arianna321, thanks I'll try that

And don't worry if you don't think he's eating enough. He won't let himself get too hungry and will realize that's how he gets full. You can also talk to your pediatrician and see if they know anything else to try.
