Are you bottle feeding? Some babies struggle with certain teat shapes. If you're using a teat that's dome shaped and your baby is spilling, clicking, or uncomfortable it may be that they are achieving a poor seal. You may want to try a more gradual shape that your baby can get further back in their mouth and achieve a better seal and more effective use of their tongue.
It's also beneficial to use paced feeding techniques - ask your midwife or health visitor, or message us for a useful video.
