My son is now a little over 5 months old and I notice a big difference in his eating habits. I know it’s normal to be distracted, which he is, but that’s not really what I worry about. He is having trouble staying on my breast and eating for extended periods of time. He keeps pulling off, so then I sit him up to burp and he is happy as can be. He smiles and talks enthusiastically. But then he starts grunting and pushing. My breastmilk goes right through him….normal again, I know.

However, not so normal, I don’t think…but again, I don’t really know….he likes to constantly snack throughout the day. About every hour or so, he wants to eat again, but not for a long time. He has also reverted back to eating atleast every 2 hours throughout the night, all night long.
