Why does he do this?!
Latch is good, winding doesn't always help, he's hungry but for some reason keeps frantically writhing and twisting his head from side to side, coming off the breast. Doesn't necessarily cry but sometimes makes frustrated grunts.
Sometimes I have to forcibly hold his head straight onto the breast so he can't turn his head away, he'll struggle and continue suckling, and eventually if I'm lucky he'll settle down.
Anyone else had this issue? I did have an oversupply and fast letdown issue for a while but he would cry when that bothered him and block feeding solved the problem a couple of weeks ago so I think this is something else. Tiredness? Impatience? General grumpiness?
