My baby is 5 weeks and feels like she feeds for so long for so often. She has the right amount of wet and dirty nappies everyday and she is gaining weight. But just wondering how ofyen your breastfed baby feeds and how long for? She’s feeding a lot more in this heat but I’m guessing she needs the hydration

A lot. All the time. My LO is 7 weeks and is wanting boob whenever he is near me, so I have to find distractions for him, walks, singing, anything 😂

My little boy is just over 6 weeks and I have noticed a decrease in total number of hours (I use a tracking app) we have gone from 8+ hours a day to 6/7ish xx

My boy is just over 5 weeks and I've noticed his appetite has increased and he is feeding for longer and just wants boob when hes awake! Could be the heat or growth spurt I think!
Okay I feel less worried lol. At first I didn’t think anything of it then I thought maybe I’m not producing enough for her if all she is doing is feeding when she’s awake. I know with the heat it’s normal jer wanton to feed more because I’m wanting to drink more too. But I just panicked. Sometimes she doesn’t always have a deep latch when she’s on my boob and deffo just wants to have it there lol

Have you tried a dummy for comfort sucking? My little boy used to just rest with my nipple in his mouth after a feed with an occasional suck, I introduced a dummy for end of feed and bedtime and he loves it x
yeah she’s repulsed by the idea of one. I’ve tried four different types and she spits them out or gags or cries
