Just when I thought we'd turned the corner onto easy street . . . Miss A is so incredibly distracted by everything going on around her that feeds during the day are turning into a nightmare. She wriggles and squirms, pushes her little feet off anything they can reach, looks around (usually without releasing my nipple first) at any tiny noise or movement. I've tried taking her into a darkened, quiet room but that means she then just grabs for my face, my other breast, her hands, my hair - you get the idea! Feeding in public is just out of the question now. She's so distracted by the world around her that feeds last barely 2 minutes of on/off on/off.

Is this just another phase in the wonderful and challengiong world of breastfeeding that will pass, or is it what I can now expect until she weans at whatever age?
