08-10-2008 - almost 5 weeks old-breastfeeding issues

My mood while writing this blog: frustrated

---

Well Zac is almost 5 weeks old now and everything is going ok, he is adorable and healthy. We are going to the health nurse today to be weighed and measured.

Only issues are with breast feeding, I had been suffering nipple thrush and now that has cleared up I have had more problems with Zac fussing and pulling from the breast. he becomes quite unsettled and I am sure he is still hungry but doesnt suck properly. this has only started since we cleared up the thrush. I thought maybe he had wind and have been burping him regularly but no success. I really don't know what else could be bothering him and he sleeps ok at night, 9 till one, then again till 5 am. hoping for some more help today from the nurse or I may just become frustrated enough to stop breastfeeding...

Hi... weird! i'm experiencing the same kind of frustrations from Ali. All this time he latched on perfect and drank like an angel... and just recently hez been fussy at the nipple and just pulls away and yells. I try not to get frustrated and let him take his time... but i found calming him down and singing helps him. Its still upsetting when he does that and BOY does it HURT!... btw, is it normal for the breasts to get THIS BIG???
