Does
My 3week old breastfeed baby has recently started to fall asleep while still latched on and sucking randomly is this normal or should I interrupt this habit

My daughter does this all the time, I just end up taking my breast out her mouth, I swear they think we are bottles and pacifiers 😂

Always try to keep them up enough to get a good feed sometimes you have to take breaks and do a diaper change, undress, burp etc but babies to nurse for comfort as well as nutrition

My girl does this also 🙈 The HV told me to stroke her cheek to see if it encourages her to keep sucking and if I think she’s just using me as a dummy to unhook her with my little finger and see if she roots for more xx
Babies fill their tummies first and then they fill their emotional cup by nursing at the boob. Totally normal behaviour, you can let it go for as short or as long as you need. Sometimes I’ve got time to sit there and love on her as she falls asleep and sometimes I need to get things done. It’s not a bad habit at all 😊
