A. Is your letdown fast? Do you have engorgement? Babies aged two to six months are notorious for pulling off the breast at any distraction (real or imaginary) and tend to forget to let go before they turn around (ouch!). This is a passing developmental stage that can be quite a nuisance – it’s usually at it’s worst between four and five months.... ....When baby first becomes aware of the rest of the world, he will have a hard time concentrating on nursing.... ....Many moms find it more and more difficult to nurse a distractible baby, and sometimes even interpret it personally (“I don’t want mom any more” or “I don’t want to nurse any more”). At the very least, it’s frustrating to deal with a distractible baby."
