Here’s how my night usually goes..
Screaming and crying begins around 7 pm and she wants to nurse. Stays latched for about 5 minutes rarely longer than that.. proceeds to continue screaming and crying. Within 20 minutes, rooting and sucking so I nurse again, repeat of the same scenario, and she continues to scream and cry. She acts as though she doesn’t even want to nurse though when I try to latch initially, won’t take any brand pacifier but she wants to suck on something. Eventually she wears herself out and settles for a second.. only to wake herself up again crying and screaming.. this goes on for HOURS. I am at such a loss, I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I’ve tried everything. No nurse or doctor or LC has had any helpful advice. Some nights are worse than others and clearly tonight is that night.. we are going into the 4th hour now with no end in sight and I am feeling completely hopeless about continuing to breastfeed. I will never forgive myself and only feel like more of a failure if I have to stop but damnit I just wish someone would tell me what I need to do!

@kelvinsmommy, yeah I have an appointment this morning to ask about reflux and get her checked out so I am desperately hoping to get some answers. I haven’t done anything special girl, I always produce a lot and I don’t know why 😅

Babies ♀ I know you're busy and you already have a child but sometimes they can just sense any stress. If you've ruled out ties and reflux then she's probably just hard to soothe.
Only other factors are fast letdown or waiting too long to nurse. Then they get worked up and hard to calm.
I went thru that with my son where if he was fussy for boob it was already too late so I started feeding when he was calm and not over his hunger threshold.
Try different holds/positions and nursing in a wrap.
Sorry, those first few months are hard.

@kelvinsmommy, girl it’s been in since day 2, I’ve got a deep freezer over half way full of milk. Supply isn’t the problem and I have no idea what is 😭😭😭😭

Is your milk completely in ?
Same was happening to me , I am pumping now to see if I can get milk and will continue to pump won’t breastfeed anymore. I bought formula and have been giving my baby that starting today and I see a big difference already.
When I pumped today I gave him the LITTLE that I got first and then the bottle of formula
