My DD is five and a half weeks old and is BF. She latches on well, but within seconds start to make clucking/smacking noises. I take her off, start again and she does the same. She seems to be latched on OK, is getting plenty, I have loads of milk and it isn't painful (although I did have a blocked duct at the weekend which was nasty and sore). She does get quite windy though.
Is this due to a shallow latch, and if so, what can i do to rectify it?
Occasionally she won't make those noises and I notice my nipple is more elongated when she comes off.
She also has a habit of pulling back throughout the feed till she is just chomping on the nipple. It doesn't matter how many times i take her off and reposition her, as soon as i let go of her head she does it again.
HELP!
