He is eating ever hour which I'm been told was b/c he is having a growth spurt. But after the letdown he starts fussy and tightenimg his body up.After he dranks from both breast he is still not happy but I can't get him to nurse anymore. And he just want cry! This has been going on all day. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!! Keona

do you give him a pacifier at all? if hes done eating he might just want to suck- my son does that. he fusses and fusses at the breast, then takes the pacifier and falls asleep.

im sure youve done this- but make sure hes burped really well. he might be getting bubbles in his tummy.

Is it an oversupply issue? You might try just pumping a bit off after letdown and see if he'll take to the breast again. He might just be getting too much milk and not be able to handle the rate of flow?

all of those suggestions are great, also maybe you need to hold him more upright when he feeds as well

Courtney was doing the same thing and it was b/c my flow was too fast at let down. So, I would try pumping or expressing some milk before a feeding and it helped a ton. Also, I have noticed this as a BIG sign of a burp in there.
GL!
