Couldn't read and not post- he doesn't hate you mumma, but you do sound frustrated. It sounds like it's been a tough journey already, so I just wanted to remind you what an amazing job you've been doing- looking at your ticker, you've made it to 6 weeks! That's amazing, you've stuck out one of the toughest periods, you're a strong woman!
You mentioned he feeds better when you're in public- can you see anything you're doing differently during those times?
Although we didn't have any attachment issues, DS had difficulty with my fast flow (particularly on one side due to torticollis, he couldn't 'catch me')- 2 things I did helped. The first was expressing a little before feeding so the 'shoot out' happened before he could get shot, and the other was burping a couple of times every feed (with a cloth nearby to catch the leaks). It made feeding a time consuming process, but I changed my thinking to using it as 'cuddle time' I wouldn't have had otherwise. (wriggles and all)
And....sometime between 8-12 weeks, my flow settled down, so it didn't go quite so quickly. It allowed both of us to relax a lot more.
