Efficiency Experts

Is your baby finished in five minutes where at first he took forty? That’s normal, too. Many babies get much more efficient at removing milk and don’t nurse as long when they’re older. SLURP and they’re done.

Distractibility

Around four to five months, babies start noticing the big, bright world outside their mothers’ arms and suddenly can’t concentrate on nursing. This doesn’t mean that they’re less interested in breastfeeding or are outgrowing it. They’re finally developed enough to be really aware of their world, but they haven’t developed enough to take in both the world and milk at the same time. It’s just the Four-Month Fussies, and it doesn’t last. Pretty soon your baby will be old enough to plug into both his surroundings and your breast at the same time. (Until then, he may nurse more often at night, when life is less exciting.) To help your baby settle down and nurse during this stage, try breastfeeding in a soothing, darkened room, maybe lying down, either in silence or with quiet, relaxing music.
