Noisy drinker

Hi mums,

My Bub is 11 weeks old, and has just started to suck in air when feeding. Makes noise like when you slurp soup from a spoon

Any ideas why?

The only think I can think of is because he’s a big baby maybe my positioning has changed to accomodate? He does it in every position I’ve tried though

He’s a big comfort sucker and now he’s getting so worked up and fussy that it’s making things difficult

Thanks xx

Is the teat flow too slow. Try a faster teat. He may be over sucking trying to get more.
