How can i breastfeed my squirming baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patience and timing: You baby may not be that hungry at the times you are trying to feed her. Wait longer between feeds until your baby is very hungry and let her get right to work. It also could be gas or reflux. Changing positions or burping with smaller feeds may provide some benefit. See your pediatrician if this situation does not improve.
