My DD is 5 weeks this Monday and the last two days she has been fussing alot more when BF'ing. She has been primarily BF since birth with the odd FF thrown in when necessary but only probably a total of 3 FF since birth. I do also express and use the EBM to top her up at night or when needed.

The last two days she has been very unsettled in the afternoon/night period and will not go down for a sleep. This is meaning she is awake from noon onwards and she really needs some sleep.

I've noticed she is more and more tugging on my BB and pulling herself off, reattaching herself, coming back off and so forth. She seems to be ok for the first few minutes and then starts with this nonsense which drives me nuts.

I was taking motillium but yesterday & today have forgotten to take it due to being out and about and having guests etc so I don't know if my milk is still struggling or if she is not wanting the breast anymore.

Any tips on what this might be or what i can do to solve it.

I lost patience tonight and gave her a FF which is the first major one she has had since birth. She had 5 minutes of BF and stuffing around and then 100ml of FF. ( Don't really want to hear how I shouldn't give her FF as I'm aware of this but my patience after being tugged on for 3 feeds in a 6 hour period was at a low).. She normally only feeds every 4-5 hours and has done so since week 2 but she has even been waking between 4-5am the last 3 nights whereas she normally has been sleeping through till 7am. I gave her a feed at 5am this morning (about 20-25 minutes) and she went straight back to sleep till 9am but again this is not the norm for her.

I have the number of an ABA consultant so am going to call her in the morning but thought I'd see if anyone could give me some suggestions about what the cause of the tugging and fussiness might be..

Sorry about the long rant..
