Fussing at the breast - breast refusal or just tired?

There is a developmental leap around 12 weeks so it could be that too.

^^This.

Re seeing the LC again - what do your instincts tell you? Are you really worried, or just unsure? Call the ABA. It's a free call and they can probably give you a better idea of what could be happening.

Maybe she's finished after a few minutes? How're the nappies?
It could just be a developmental thing, though, too. Hang in there

I'd call the ABA first and try to work out a plan of attack with them, then see after a week how she is

Thanks ladies.

Starfish - I'm not worried as such (provided its not anything that's going to lead to her stopping feeding). She's not hideously distressed or anything - just crying and grumpy. I have no concerns that she isn't getting enough milk because she's a beautiful little buddha growing out of her clothes seemingly daily. The biggest problem is the damage she's doing to me and that feed times can be unpleasant for both of us, and my other girls if they're around.

MadB - plenty of really wet nappies. I'm going through about 8 cloth or 6 disposables a day (ie between 7am and 9pm)

TC - thanks. Hadn't thought of that.

RCC - will give the ABA a call and see what they think. I'm so determined to keep feeding that I think I'm avoiding calling the ABA because I don't want anyone "official" telling me there is a problem. Nothing like putting your head in the sand!
