Dream feeding

You can try and prevent the falling asleep by changing feeding positions during feeding her.

hey, yeah I do that I start onto he right and move to the left 😔 she feeds from both most feeds.

Stripping baby from warm cloths helps! As well as kind of massaging feet and hands.

A dream feed is something else. A dream feed is when you pick up your baby that’s already asleep in bed to nurse, around the same time that you yourself go to sleep. So say you put your baby down at 7. You go about doing your thing and 10 on comes around you want to go to bed. So you give your sleeping baby another feed to top her off. Some parents swear by it bc it gives them a longer stretch of sleep. 😴 🤗

Concerning what you’re talking about: my baby does the same! I nurse him he falls asleep in my arms with the boob in his mouth. I have two ways of handling it…
1. I commit to allowing him to nurse to sleep and when he’s deep asleep he usually lets go of the nipple, I can tug the boobs away, burp him and gently put him to bed.

2. I want to put him down drowsy but awake. I nurse him in my arms for as long as he needs to be full. If he closes his eyes that’s fine. If he falls asleep, I exit the room with baby in arms into the lit hallway. The light usually wakes him…

From there we go back to the nursery, he either finishes nursing or is fed and drowsy enough for me to put him down. And that’s a whole different animal! 😂 I feel the more confident I am about it and can mentally reassure him that mama is here, that he is safe and can trust me, the easier the whole “putting the baby’s down” thing goes. Trust your mama baby connection! You got this ✅
