My 4 month old has always fed very fast and hes very fussy while I'm feeding, I don't know if its because he's being nosey or he's not getting enough? He doesn't ever seem satisfied and full after a feed, how can i tell if I'm making enough milk?
Anyone having the same problem?

Hi RockstarsMum, this is a common concern that babies start to get fussy at the breast, particularly at the end of the day, he possibly is having to work harder to get the milk, however you say you have a fast flow, its important that he is able to get his mouth well open and to do this he needs to lay back and head tilt backwards, so long as he is gaining weight well and settling after feeds, having lots of wet and dirty nappies and looks well.
Hi RockstarsMum, that's great, please be reassured by his weight gain, its a shame there is no gauge on the breast, but it sounds like you are doing really well
