I’m finding whenever my baby cries I’m chucking them on the boob! Is this what I should be doing? it seems to work but does mean we are on the boob A LOT just checking that it’s normal to do this

I was doing this but she was being sick a lot! 🙈 I check for signs of wanting feeding (o shape mouth & tongue showing) and if they're not there ill check if she needs changing, if she's cold, if she wants to be sat up (helps with colic) or needs burping (clenched fists) before trying feeding. I'll also pass her to my partner to see if she calms down, if she goes for his nipple I know she's definitely hungry!

I’ve been doing the same but have been exhausting every other option changing, burping etc first unless my boy is showing feeding cues
Definitely normal tho! They’ll use it as comfort too so if nothing else is working it will usually settle them
I just seem to get the feeding cue, rooting and hands in mouth 😬😬 clearly have a hungry boy 🤣
