Breaking suction constantly

[jennybeans]

Lately E has started breaking suction constantly while nursing. I thought at first it was due to a fast letdown / too much milk since she does have trouble keeping up in the morning. It's happening all day and night though even when my milk is lower. I tried doing some of the suck exercises from when she had her tongue/lip ties revised and she does the same thing when sucking on my finger. Any advice on what to do? She gags when I try to have her suck on my finger for exercises so I can't do that unless she is definitely hungry.. is this from the bottle or pacifier? She doesn't take either often but we had been using the paci more while traveling over thanksgiving.

ETA - she's almost 14 weeks old and primarily nursing but she will take a bottle 1-2 times each week in practice for daycare in a couple weeks.

Is she congested? A stuffy nose could be the culprit and saline drops or spray in the nose a few times a day until the congestion clears can help.

My first thought was the same as seamonster.

That's a good thought, she has had a cold for the last couple weeks (DS brings everything home from daycare). I've been slacking on the saline since she seemed to be better but I'll add it back in and see if things improve. Hopefully between that and working on her suck again we get things back on track..
