Re: my 3-wk old falls asleep at breast
Hi! Sounds like you're getting great tips and suggestions. But, I think you deserve a pat on the back! I commend your commitment to BF and you came to the right place to be encouraged for that! Nursing a newborn is not easy! But keep up the good work! Hopefully you can get things improved soon.
Something I did not see mentioned in previous responses is to always go by wet/poopy diapers. What goes in must come out. Also, if she is still suckling at the breast, is latched properly, many times they can dream feed and get a second let down. When milk is actively flowing they rouse a bit to drink it. That has been my experience with my babies. Keep up the good work!
