My dd is 5 weeks tomorrow...we are bf and every morning we go through the same thing...She wakes up and she'll eat ok for about 5 minutes and after that she is on and off and won't stay latched on. This goes on for about 30 minutes and finally she quits, but then she'll cry 15 minutes later because she's still hungry!! It is frustrating because she is very fussy the entire morning. I swear she'll eat for 5 minutes every hour until she finally naps for about an hour or so and then she'll eat beautifully after that (20 mins straight)?!?!? My dh was giving her a bottle of breast milk when he got home from work each night, but I was thinking of giving her that in the morning to make sure she eats enough and maybe that will eliminate her fussy time?? Anyone else have any other ideas?

i'd say bottle feed, even if you are pumpig breast milk then you know how much they get. its less worrying. babies will stop eating when theyre not hungry anymore.
