    Question Unsettled baby and just started on mini pill

    On Monday I started taking the mini pill, today Oscar has hardly been asleep and when he feeds he seems to come off the breast and has a bit of a cry and then goes back on.

    It's not a huge drama but just wondering if it may be the mini pill that is affecting him and if so, how long does the unsettledness usually last?!?

    TIA

    Hey Danielle!!!

    I found this with Avaleigh as well. I started the mini pill on a Friday morning and by Saturday Avaleigh was feeding every 2 hours and when she would feed only a few minutes and then she would come on and off and cry, like you say Oscar is doing. She would go to sleep tho.

    So I pretty much had this fussy feeding for 1 and a 1/2 weeks and decided to stop the mini pill yesterday cause things werent getting better and Avaleigh was throwing her milk back up so I am guessing the taste was horrible for her.

    Hopefully Oscar will settle soon but I decided to stop cause I wanted too many times to give up BFing cause of the way Avaleigh was feeding.
