Does anyone else find their baby nurses just for comfort? My baby is 9 days old and we’re combi feeding because I don’t produce enough for what he needs. He screams when he’s hungry and I try to give him a bottle but he won’t always take it, I’ll stick him on my boob and he feeds for about 10 minutes then falls asleep. When I try to move him he scream again and sometimes I can be doing this for a couple of hours. I just wanted to know if it’s normal?

100% normal. If you’re interested you could try a pacifier (if you haven’t already).

Absolutely. Hes just started adjusting. Its only been 9 days.. The closeness, your heart beat, warmth is comfort after being ejected from your body. Hes in shock and the closeness helps him regulate.

Yes, my baby has always comfort fed and now he is seven months and he won’t take a pacifier. He will only take a boob to go to bed.

Yes i do nurse for comfort my son has never taken to a paci

At 9 days your milk is still regulating and the best way for that to happen is to let baby be on it as much as he wants. He will tell your body how much to produce. It's all normal.
