Fussy baby: I'm assuming your baby is young. Babies can cry alot and if your breast feeding and you see milk and gulping and he is having many stools and urine, he's probably fed well . There are some things that can cause fussy baby , immaturity, reflux, infection and more i think you should call your pediatrician and have him seen now.

Tired baby/sick baby: Bf provides both nutrition & nurturing, so the fussy baby that's wetting plenty of diapers & filling out is doing it more for comfort.Babies do not understand the concept of rest/sleep as a solution to tired & fight sleep, wanting u to fix everything.I like to have babies feed as they waken & plan a rest period as they tire.Avoid feeds < 2hr. If baby doesn't settle well at feeds have an exam.

Fussy baby: Is your baby crying every time you try to stop feeding him( or take him away from your breast? Or put him down?) it sounds like you know he is getting enough milk and what the baby wants is the closeness and non-nutritive sucking. You may want to try a pacifier to allow your baby to continue sucking when you put him down. That allowed me to finally be able to put my little fuss-budget down.
