After breastfeeding..

My DD is breastfeeding, normally she only feeds on one boob and I switch to the other boob on next feeding, usually after feeding she falls asleep so I lay her down and she sleeps then all sudden she fusses and stretches around for a few seconds then falls back asleep she does that for about 5 minutes or so.. I didnt offer the other breast cause she's fast asleep and stirring her doesnt do much, but make her grunt. I guess I get confused when I lay her down after a feeding when she fusses and falls back asleep, but like I said last for about 5 minutes.. Is she still hungry? Would you try to feed her again even though she is sleepy? or maybe she is just irritated that I am laying her down after being skin to skin? Hope that makes sense.. Thanks for any input!  Oh just to add she fed for 25 minutes

Sounds like gas. Have you tried burping before laying her down?

Sounds like she just takes a few minutes to settle in.

This. My DD does this sometimes for 5-10 min, especially at night. I don't think much of it, especially since she also feeds for 20-30 min at a time and seems full when she is done. Don't worry, baby would probably cry and let you know they were still hungry!

You could be describing how my LO eats exactly. As long as she's gaining weight OK, I'd say she's just settling down. Not sure how old she is, but my pedi has assured me that by 6 weeks, if my little guy were hungry, we (and the rest of the neighborhood) would know it :)
