Baby unsettled

For the past 2 or so days now my 2 week old has been so unsettled. She's started to pull her head back whilst feeding, pulling my nipple with her and squirming/crying whilst she does it. Then after she's finished she just doesn't seem happy at all, offer her the other boob and she's still the same. She was just passing out after every feed. Has anyone else had this around the 2 week mark? Any tips/advice/messages of solidarity welcome 😅

My baby is becoming the same. He’s 3 weeks today. He will be on the boob for 2-3 hours straight and then he’s still not happy. He’s also sleeping so much less. Like today he woke at 07:50am (after only going to sleep at 5:10am) and he’s been awake since. Either just staring , crying , boobing, or drinking expressed milk. Just doesn’t seem to go to sleep!! 😑

And yeh often just unsettled on the nipple, scrunching himself up, pinging off , moaning etc

Sounds like cluster feeding which usually happens around 2-3 weeks. She's basically putting in an order for you to make more milk. My lo has done the same a few times. Just go with it, get snacks set up and it will soon pass.

It's the clamping down and pulling on my nipple that's sending me 😫 Felt like feeding had been improving, but feels like we've gone back 2 steps at the moment
