<Why do babies pull on the breast while suckling, throwing their heads back
and
taking the nipple with them?>
<Could it be frustration that their is dwindling milk?>

From my observations beginning in childhood watching farm animals and pets,
baby mammals bunt their mother's dugs.  Bunt and dug are words you hardly ever
hear now, beautiful old-fashioned words used by countryfolk.  Lambs are
fantastic bunters, it always makes me wince because they thud their mother's
dugs/udders in such a forceful manner.  It must be to elicit/stimulate more
milk.
