Breastfeeding moms.. When my son is eating, after about 2 minutes in he starts arching his back, crying, swinging his…

I definitely think he has some reflux. What did you do with your son ? I wish I knew exactly what I should cut out. I don’t know what it could be.

@luv_2b_amomma, he grew out of it . He’s 9 months now and he doesn’t get the reflux as much . It was bad to the point that he was throwing up after every feeding .now it just bothers him when he burps

I think that is the case. I know when he is drinking I can hear it as it goes down and he does act as if it’s a lot. What did you do with your oversupply?

@luv_2b_amomma if you don't already have a haaka or similar milk catcher, get one. I catch on the opposite breast everytime and freeze the supply for now. I also have noticed a difference in feeding her in a reclined position. I'll delatch when I feel the burn and express into a burp cloth for a moment

@luv_2b_amomma I also keep gas drops on hand for if she inhales too much air, really helps!

Yes I do have a heavy flow of milk. I think that definitely is playing a role in what’s upsetting his tummy while feeding.

That could be it. I normally don’t eat dairy but it was my husbands birthday Friday and I did eat cake and ice cream.

Yes he is latched properly. Yes I do notice a bit of milk that comes up after he pulls away from the nipple and that he may even spit up. He does have thrush on his tongue. What does that mean ? What should I do ?

@luv_2b_amomma, my son had thrush and did the same thing. It def affects nursing. He needs to see a dr for medication for his thrush. If you don’t go soon you’ll get it too and it’ll be so hard to get rid of. Sanitize all of his nipples, binkys and anything going in his mouth. Boil them if you have too. As for your nipples keep them clean and dry as possible. I got it on my nipples and it felt like knives stabbing me every time I fed him.

@morganmommy79, it’s a yeast infection. It can be painful for both. If that’s what it is. I’d check with a dr if his tongue or mouth is patchy white
