Fussing at breast, am I just thinking to much

[x-li-x]

I'm so worried lately and not sure if over thinking or looking into things too much. ATM I'm going through a weight struggle with hv . She doesn't think my boy is gaining enough. At 19weeks he weighs 11lb 15. Last week he weighed 11lb12 so that's 3 oz gain (the month before that he gained nothing but didnt loose and the month before that gained 4 oz) so he gains little and has gone from the 25th centile to 0.4th. She's making such a deal that we are now booked in to see a doc tomorrow. Even though he's happy healthy me alert.

But now I'm starting to overtaking things. Like sometimes after a feed he will still moan though its like a minute after he's stopped himself feeding. So il wind him sometimes this helps or sometimes I need to put him back to the boob for like a minute. This normal settles him but sometimes il put him back to the boob and hel cry and pull away sometimes hel take a couple sucks and then scream. I use to think maybe it was his gums but now I'm worried Its because I'm not satisfying him. He will usually clm down after a tiny while and have a nice cuddle so I never thought much into it.
Am I thinking to much ? Or could he still be hungry and I'm not Making enough?
Does anyone else's baby do the same?

I'm starting to think all this stress n worry I should just give up!

My baby is doing the same thing. Except he'll only feed for a few minutes before beginning to continually latch and unlatch until he just starts screaming and won't latch at all. I feel awful because I feel like it's me doing something wrong

No advice, just wanted you to know you aren't alone

Hun, that's normal! And you baby's weight sounds great. A trick I used to relax while nursing with stress is to close my eyes and picture the cutest things about your baby (first smiles, little toes, a soft cuddle) and try to shut everything else out. That normally helps me let down a bit sooner and calms the baby, too. Stress tenses us up, making us feel like there is problems when there is none!
