Baby wants to be latched all the time at night

Same. Extremely normal. My child is over 1 and she loves to stay latched especially when she’s teething of unwell or going through a growth spurt. Is your baby a newborn? If so they do cluster feed and that’s normal to. It’s a way they comfort themselves,the best soothing tool a mama has in her toolbox for sure! I’d wait a long time before we wean

My dr told me feeding my baby laying down caused him an ear infection so now i’m trying to stop ):

@Ariel she’s 9 months 😭😭😭😭started getting clingy from 6 months. I used to be able to put her down as a newborn and until 5 months old

@Natalie what age did he get an ear infection? Is it because the milk went in his ear?

Both my babies went through this phase, I hated it, I don't remember how long it lasted tho

My daughter is 13m now and the only thing that has helped me is putting her in a twin size floor bed (we no longer co-sleep) so when she eventually unlatches I can slip out of her bed. Some nights I get in and out quite a bit but she’s getting longer and longer stretches. You got this momma it just takes time❤️

If they doze off and then wake up and want it again, I try to put my baby down in his own bed. I feel like sleeping next to me makes him smell it and want it more.

@Skye thank you I’ll try this out!

@Nevaeh yess I don’t mind comfort feeding but the for the whole night is tiring 😭😭

@Megan I try but my baby keeps on crying if I put her down to sleep. I tried to soothe her in other ways and she doesn’t want to

Yeah my little one used to treat me as a dummy... sometimes she would deep sleep enough to leave me alone for a bit but it was exhausting! My baby is now almost 16 months and luckily doesn't have that problem as much, I don't think I did much but when I started back at work I had to start unlatching her to be able to go and have dinner so she got used to having to sleep without it, but I had to find that sweet spot between light sleep and deep sleep cause if I did it too early she would instantly cry and if I did it too late she would wake up and take ages to go back to sleep. It's not easy but it's not forever either ❤️

@Sophie thank you! This gives me hope! Did she just outgrew the need to pacify or was it the unlatching that helped? Sometimes I unlatch her and it works but sometimes it doesn’t

I usually unlatch him and he settles back to sleep and I take that opportunity to put him down. Sometimes it takes a couple tries.
