he latches on seems to eat for about 10 minutes then he starts crying and pulls off then in a second latches back on and in the next second pulls of again. I thought maybe my milk taste bitter because I ate something, but why does he eat in the begging. Then I thought maybe he is just not hungry and had enough, but why does he latch back on after crying like he is hungry? ANy ideas

Babies do all sorts of things when breastfeeding. Sometimes milk comes out to fast so they pull off so they can swallow and breathe and just have a break. sometimes it doesnt come out fast enough and they may get frustrated and pull off, to wait for more.
I suggest when he pulls off crying, burb him, then see if he wants more. Keep burbing him during each feed.
Hope his helps.

it may be wind ( colic ) my daughter use to do this at almost every feed!!!
i got some drops off my health visitor which i gave before a feed and seemed to do the trick.
sometimes they just gulp too much too quick, and take in alot of air.
maybe call your doctor and see what you can give to ease any discomfort your son may have its hard at his age because its limited to what they can and cant have
good luck x x x x
