Any advice for this mom/baby.? Baby is healthy thriving 2 month olds "She latches on swallows a couple of times, and comes off all but the nipple, chomps and then snaps her head back. Repeatedly. She's been doing this on and off for a while, but she was good at night. These past few days, it's getting worse, even at night, and I'm sore. I'm tired of her antics all the time. Yesterday afternoon was a real pain, literally and figuratively. I think its partly because she's a bit spoiled. Usually letdown happens pretty immediately, but if it doesn't she does more of the above, I get tense, no letdown, vicious circle. I'm going to assume it's just another phase which had better pass soon." I suggested breast compression which mom has tried with little success. I also suggested, if possible, breast massage before feeds , keeping the baby in close during feeds and taking her off then relatching if she does the offending behavior.
