Is it bad to let my baby comfort nurse

My baby is a month old and she nurses almost all day and night long. I feel like it's the only thing that calms her down. I'm just wondering if there's such a thing as letting her nurse to often.

Absolutely not, it’s what your boobs are made for! Babies nurse for comfort, food, hydration, to feel safe, it’s all completely natural and more than normal. Don’t let anyone tell you your 4 week old shouldn’t be comfort nursing… it’s so important for both you and baby!!! X

Ok that makes me feel better cause ❤️

The opposite! Milk is only one reason babies nurse. your baby doesn’t even know he is out of your belly, all comfort you give him is good.

Absolutely not at all!! Nursing is so magical. It’s food, it’s comfort, it’s pain relief, it’s bonding and connection ❤️ no such thing as too often. I fear once my 17 month old decides to wean, I’ll have to change my parenting because currently the boob is the magic solution for pretty much everything!

Not at all. Slowly baby will get used to the world and not comfort nurse as much. Baby is also still so little and gets hungry often. If you want to you can introduce a pacifier, but if you are ok with baby comfort nursing let them ❤️
