Breastfeeding troubles

7 week old constantly bobs on and off of the boob whilst breastfeeding and it’s driving me crazy! My first born breastfed without any issues for 12 months and never done this. Anyone know why or how to correct it? He had his tongue tie cut and it hasn’t made the slightest bit of difference!

My LB does this sometimes too. I think my milk flow is faster on one side so it’s him taking a pause before going back for more. The issue is he is taking on air so needs some burping when he’s finished. Unfortunately no tips on how to correct it.

Has your LO just started to do this? My baby just turned 8 weeks and has been doing this for several days when she didn’t before, so not sure if it’s typical development and will sort itself.

This might not be the case for you, but I find when my LO does this then he doesn't actually want any milk. I take him off and usually he stops crying after an initial protest.
