I am so sorry that I keep bombarding this board with my questions! I promise I'll get the hang of things eventually.

B has been getting better with his latch (thanks to your tips!) and BFing is getting progressively smoother/less painful. He started doing something weird though...

After he has been nursing for a while he starts shaking his head back and forth like he is frustrated. Seriously, he is like a little lion ripping apart his prey. It ruins his latch and he clamps on my nip and it is insanely painful!

I worry about my supply, so I thought maybe my flow slows down too much. However, this morning I squeezed my boob after the head shaking extravaganza and a stream of milk squirted out. If it comes out like a squirt gun then I'm guessing my flow must be quick enough.

This morning his episode hurt so bad that I took him off the boob. Even though he had been nursing for 45 mins (right, left, right again) he started crying. I thought he was still hungry because of my supply, so I went to make him an ounce of pumped milk. When I got back, he had spit up all over himself. I changed him, he ate the ounce, and then he passed out.

What is making him do this? Is he getting frustrated with my flow or supply? Does he need to burp? If he is drinking enough to where he spits up then why did he guzzle the extra ounce?

Help! I feel like the most clueless BFer ever.
