Then you need not worry , just keep a watch over his weight gain, feeding pattern and if he is having any vomiting. This may just be a transient issue , as long as baby is playful , feeding well and gaining weight don't worry. Also feed the baby on one breast for longer so that baby has access to hindmilk which allows satiety and adequate weight gain.
