Hoping someone can advise. I am aware that babies cluster feed, but my baby has been on for nearly 10 hours with only a couple of 15 minute breaks and nappy changes. He normally feels well for about 4 - 6 hours before going to sleep at about midnight when he will sleep really well and need to be woken for his next feed. I'm aware that at only 2 weeks, anything goes re. feeding but he's just frantic tonight.
He is extremely flustered at the minute, he is doing some very fast and heavy breathing while being on the boob and is frantically shaking his arms and legs and head while still latched on and then tears himself off. He will get very screechy and has uncontrollable crying.
I have changed his nappy, winded him, offered a dummy, undressed him down to his vest in case he's too warm, tried skin to skin, but the only thing that will make him settle again is going back on the boob but he will only go on for about 3 or 4 minutes before getting all shakyThis has been going on for hours. When he comes off he just screeches uncontrollably.
Is there something I've forgotten about? I just don't know what he could want. I'm worried that maybe it's something to do with my supply. I have offered both boobs. If I squeeze my nipple there is plenty of milk coming out.
Any suggestions as to what I could do or why he might getting so flustered?
