Lazy latch

I’m 4 weeks into breastfeeding and so far it’s been perfect! He has a great latch and no problems at all, however past few days I find he can be really lazy with his latch and just slipping on and off like he’s not making the effort. It isn’t all the time, just a couple times through the day, and weight gain is great so no real concerns. Just wondered if anyone else’s baby is a lazy bugger sometimes or if there’s a reason???

I've had the same issue last couple days and looked it up and found that it can be position or a different taste to your milk?

I’ve had the same with my little one getting lazy/sleepy as soon as he latches. You could try a nappy change in between breasts and then leaving his clothes off for skin to skin while feeding. That worked for me a few times.

My baby is the same! She stopped opening her mouth properly to get a deep latch. I am trying new positions now.

He latches fine most of the time; but some times it’s like he can’t be arsed 😂 he’s fully alert, wide eyed and looking around, just hungry but lazy 😂
