Great to hear you are going to see an LC, it really is the best option. As PPs have said it could be a lot of things some of which he might grow out of, others that might need addressing. For most people the first 12 weeks are the hardest, then things generally get better. I set myself the goal of 12 weeks, and decided that if I hadn't sorted things out by then (I saw an LC quite a bit), I would reconsider the whole thing. At 11 weeks I was ready to give up. Then one day, at about 12 weeks, I realised things were good! I realised it would be harder work to formula feed than what I was doing. We are still going strong at 13 months. Breastfeeding issues can be fixed, by an LC and by time. Hang in there. Thinking of you. Tess xx
