Hopefully he adapts soon ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-nurser#post-556721 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:36:05 +0000 purrpletulips 556721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a similar problem due to let-down, it has gotten better as DS got older and better at managing the flow. Now he fusses if the flow isn't fast enough :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-nurser#post-556711 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:27:05 +0000 pl0508 556711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: I do think my let down is partly to blame. When he comes off I let it go into a burp cloth for a few seconds. I've also started leaning back to try to get him above the nipple so it isn't shooting down his throat. That seems to help ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-nurser#post-556704 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:24:09 +0000 purrpletulips 556704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he doing anything like arching away before coming off? It could be that your letdown is getting stronger and he is coming off (or biting down on the nipple) because the flow it too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-nurser#post-556679 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:11:55 +0000 Maysprout 556679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he's going through a growth spurt or a bit under the weather? She had days where she was a bit finicky but I usually thought it was a growth spurt, but not sure if it actually was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-nurser#post-556568 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:25:27 +0000 pl0508 556568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been a great nurser with a great latch since day 1. He has also been very efficient. At almost 3 weeks old he has been very lazy the past day or so when nursing. Falling asleep. Not opening wide to latch. Readjusting his latch so all he has is nipple. Not nursing for long and disinterested when I offer again after burping or offer the other side. He is also showing hunger cues sooner because he isn't eating as much I guess ? What happened to my good nurser ? Did your LO do this ? Could the eating for less time but more frequently be attributed to a growth spurt ? </p> <p>He also has one big spit up a day which I hate. It makes me feel like he just threw up everything he had at the last few feedings! I've been keeping him upright after feeding but sometimes I guess babies just spit up no matter what ? It doesn't smell sour so I don't think it is reflux </p>
