4 wk old pulling off breast

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My 4 week old had been pulling off my breasts a lot this week. I know, in an older baby, this can be a sign of an ear infection or teething but I'm wondering about this age. He is a gassy/fussy baby and we've also been dealing with thrush-he was on nystatin by 1 wk and has been on diflucan since last week. Wondering if the meds could cause this? It seems like pulling off the breast would just cause more gas. Any thoughts?

It could be the thrush if it hasnt resolved.

Or could you be overproducing? or a food intollerance?

DD did that all of the time, but from day one.

Best of luck! Im sure there are tons of other mamas that will chime in.
