strange nursing behavior

[twiggles9d]

this seems to happen more at night, but also happens during the day- dd will nurse fine for a few minutes, then start moving all around, and then crying like she is uncomfortable. i'll try to burp her (sometimes she'll burp, sometimes not), and put her back. sometimes she latches on right away and will nurse frantically for a few moments, and then

Hmm, June does this when she has to poop. Nursing stimulates the digestive track and some babies find it uncomfortable. What I do is let her wiggle, help her pump her legs, and try to keep her on the boob as long as she will take it. If she's on it for a few minutes she'll usually calm down and a few minutes after that, she poops.

Ha ha, I'm gonna have so much ammo when she starts dating.

So totally off topic, but did you see the game last night?!

[babyfevertime]

No!!! We turned off the TV in a new less-tv effort and we MISSED IT!!! &$%#@!!!

*grins* Well, you've got up to seven more chances to see them, but hopefully it won't take that many.

my son does this too. I don't know why. Could you please post what your ped says?

[twiggles9d]

my little one does this too. I was thinking it was the let down but I don't know.

i was/am thinking this too.....in the same boat as everyone else...weught gain and diaper output is fine though.

OP: post an update!

ok so we went to the pedi, and she said it sounds like reflux. she said to watch it, because reflux tends to peak around 3-4 months, so we'd need to treat it if it gets worse. but she said it's mild enough to leave alone for now (since it doesn't seem to bother her all of the time or disrupt her nursing too much), unless my daughter's behavior changes.

I could be wrong but it could be growth spurt...

My girl does the same thing for few days.
