Toddler nursing problem
Quite suddenly, my little guy (28months old now) is having problems
nursing. Its pretty hard to describe in words, but I'll try. When sucking, he by all outward appearances maintains latch, but every few sucks, he makes this strange squelching (is that a word?) noise from inside his mouth, almost like his tongue is losing latch while the rest of the mouth maintains a good latch - i.e. he's not popping off the breast, nor does it cause me pain when it happens, but this noise is now happening every 3rd suck or so, and he gets very frustrated and squirmy and asks to switch side, and it just keeps going. It certaintly seems to disrupt him and its also irritating for me - while there is no pain, the noise is incredibly annoying to me, and something just feels different when this happens. There is still milk, as he unlached at one point yesterday and had milk dribble down his face. We're both getting a little fed up with it I think, and wondering if anyone has ever experienced this? I should also mention that he's had a bad cough lately, but has not been stuffy in the nose, so I don't think its a breathing issue. Any ideas?
