Some babies pull off the breast crying due a fast or slow flow of breastmilk. If your baby pulls off your breast soon after your let-down (when milk begins to flow from your breast) and is coughing or gagging, you may have an overactive let-down reflex.
Likewise, people ask, why does my baby randomly cry while breastfeeding?
Babies will often fuss, cry, or pull away from the breast when they need to burp. A fast flow of milk can exacerbate this. They can also swallow more air when they’re fussy, or gulp down milk faster than normal if they’re over-hungry.
In respect to this, can babies get upset stomach from breast milk?
Having too much breast milk could also trigger gassiness. “Oversupply can cause the baby to overfeed or swallow too much air, causing an upset belly,” Dr. Montague says. Make sure you’re emptying one breast fully before switching sides so baby gets all of the stomach-soothing hindmilk.
How do I get my baby to open his mouth while breastfeeding?
Starting with the right position is key, from the breastfeeding hold to the nursing pillow you use. Hold the breast strategically, aiming it toward the top of her mouth. Tease her to open her mouth wider, and only bring her to the breast when it’s wide enough.
