Rhiannon, I'm sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment. Granted I'm not expert, but Willa does pretty much the same thing at night. Whatever problems I may have feeding or settling her in the day time for some reason its all fine at night- sleeping and feeding. We only have occasional dramas with her fussing at the breast, as you've described with Jensen. And as I posted earlier, I reckon its silent reflux because she pulls a face when she swallows and sticks out her tongue like feeding is uncomfortable. She brings up a bit and then gets really irritable. To me it seems like she's suffering from regurgitated tummy acid. So she hates lying down and will only settle when being carried upright. Does this sound like Jensen?

But then this doesn't happen at night. Some day times she sleeps 3 hours or 4 hour sleeps, other times theres only short naps where all I can do is put a load in the dishwasher. We also get the 10 mins of staring into space quiet times and then constant crying. I am hearing you totally about not being able to get things done. I'm a neat freak and it really use to bother me, but now I just tell myself that all this fussy periods will past. It's not a life sentence and that my sole job at the moment is to mother my bub. So I feel less guilty about not having any food in the fridge or that DH might have to re-use his work shirt because I haven't done laundry.


If Jensen is feeding ok at night then it doesnt sound like a supply issue? Have you tried expressing to see how much you can get? If not reflux then maybe its just general day time unsettledness. Willa fight the breast when she has an air bubble and needs to be burped, or when she is focussed on getting a big poo out and that she can't spread her attention to feeding. I only figured these things out thru trial and error.

There's always an lc to speak to if you feel its a bbs issue. But It doesnt sound like tongue tie or suction issues if he's ok feeding at night. Hope the fussy period passes soon for you!
