comfort nursing

I wait until she is deeply asleep and unlatches on her own. I get it though, especially if you want to change positions or just put them down once asleep 🫠

@Melissa i’ve tried that too and he wakes up as soon as i move him😩

Hi! My babe is four weeks and experienced similar earlier on but not quite as bad. Have you done a weighted feed? I think my baby was getting enough to not be hungry but I wasn’t producing enough to like fully satisfy her and so she wanted to nurse a lot!!!! A lot! But she would fall asleep because she wasn’t starving but the second she woke she’d want back on because she wasn’t completely full. I started supplementing some and now it’s not that at all. Not saying your baby isn’t getting enough but maybe do a weighted feed with lactation consultant to see? Or offer a bottle with pumped milk after he nurses and see if he drinks it/stays off your boob after.

@Abbi i second this. that was exactly what was happening with my daughter too

@Abbi thank you so much for this, i started supplementing and he is like a whole different baby! i honestly was skeptical about if he was getting enough but he was gaining weight and getting enough wet/dirty diapers so i wanted to just trust that my body knew what it was doing. im so glad i came on here and asked!

@Georgia this was me too! I was hesitant and knew she was getting enough milk that she wasn’t going hungry but I think the extra added just satisfied her more for longer. So glad it worked for you as well 🫶🏼
