 My son is almost 3 months old and hes been pulling off when im not "full" and start crying. He will not take his binki anymore either. He wont let me set him down but when i try to feed him he doesnt take unless m boobs are like really full (i think because he doesnt have to suck much, i have over supply during letdown)

Any suggestions? Im starting to get irritated... :(

Just hang in there. Your supply has regulated to make just what he needs. This means be has to work harder to get the milk now and it's making him mad. This is totally normal and fine. Just keep nursing and he'll get used to it soon enough.

Welcome to the three month growthspurt, AKA your next bonding test!

Normal stuff. Be unimpressed by His Fussiness. Continue to offer the breast. Massage and compressions can help a bit; but really this is one of those things you weather. It will pass. And then he'll inconsiderately outgrow everything!

Hang in there, 3 months is a growth spurt which is why he is acting this way. also he may be used to the faster flow when you are fuller but since you should be regulating now hes just going to have to adjust.

It's impossible to hold him too much.  Get a sling or a wrap and wear him as you go about your day. :)

Yay growth spurts :) him popping on and off is his way of telling your body to make more milk for his growth spurt :) it's totally normal my daughter did that at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months 9 months and just again last week she's 1 today :) just keep offering and keep yourself calm. and don't worry you can't hold him too much :)
