    DS was like this between 4-11 months. At first darkened rooms helped, but later it was just pot luck whether he would feed ok or not.
    Try to relax, let her come to you rather than trying to feed her. You might find she's more receptive when she's sleepy, or has just woken up.
    I pretty much gave up trying to bf DS when we weren't at home unless he was reeady for a sleep - that's the only time he might feed ok.
    All the best~~

    The quiet, darkened room works for many mums. A breastfeeding necklace can be a big help too. This keeps the baby focussed on you long enough to feed!

    It can be a difficult time. I hope it settles soon
