appetite problems breastfeeding stressful

[Guest guest]

Liam and I have been havinh some dramas over feeding, he is 15 weeks now. He is

only wanting to feed now for about 5-10 mins per time, like every 3 hours. He

use to feed about 10 mins per side or longer. I have tried to force him but

that only stresses him and me and then afecting my milk supply. I am scared

that he is not getting enough, I wouldnt care about this if he didnt have CF. I

really want to continue breastfeeding, but it is really starting to try me.

This has been getting pregresively worse over the last few weeks. He is not

sick, no fever, etc. But has been grizzily and irritable over the las few days,

but still laughing and smiling as well. I dont really know what is going on and

I hate when I dont understand what is the matter, its not like he can say whats

wrong, if he could it would make it easier!! He is still putting on enough

weight and is in the 75% percentile now so I guess he is getting enough but I

dont really know, he also wants to be carried around all the time now and often

now keen on laying down. Anyway just needed to vent a bit. I have just feed

him to sleep on the bed, he actually wanted my breast to comfort which was nice

for both of us.
