I’ve only been a mom for 6 days now and I’ve only done breast. But I’m having trouble with my LO. She’s gassy, spits up, pulls away, hiccups etc. and while feeding we end up making a mess.

It could be she has an intolerance to something in your diet that she’s getting through your breast milk. It could also be that she’s not getting a proper latch and could be getting air in while she’s trying to eat.

How do I find out what it is?

do you burp her every few mins? When she’s gassy is she crying in pain?
Risa··
She doesn’t burp every time. But when she pulls away I try and after too. And no, she doesn’t cry. But they sound painful

She's learning just like you. Do you have an active let down? You can try in a more leaned back position and that can help. Also have her checked for ties. Seeing an LC will be immensely helpful

The easiest position for us is laying on our sides. The ones I saw at the hospital said nothing was wrong, and that she’s a good feeder.
Lanie Jay··
try angling yourself back a little when you lay like that
Risa··
I’ll try during our next feeding. Thank you.
