Why Is My Baby Struggling to Latch While Breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is a nightmare since last night 😭😓 he won't latch on for long periods or gets agitated and pulls off or struggles to get on which hasn't happened before as we've done so well I've expressed a bottle incase this happens again tonight any advice on how to help this?

Expressing is no clear indication of supply . Drink lots of water and oat milk. Also cluster feeding is normal around 2-4 weeks x

Ask your health visitor about a lactation specialist or a breast feeding group (I know there's one at the cafe in the park in Watford not sure what day). Get it sorted as early as poss X X

Try laying down side by side and feeding him like that or the football hold xxx

Sounds like he may have reflux hun, they can get fussy on the boob with that :) Or maybe your let down isnt fast enough and he is getting frustrated? Babies can always suck out more than you can express hun xxx
