Dd is 1 week old today, breastfeeding going well but I just wonder if I should keep waking her up when she falls asleep whilst feeding to see if she wants anymore. Sometimes I'll put her down in her cot after she dozes off but she'll wake up shortly after wanting more. Should I wake her up after she's fallen asleep and try and offer her more before putting her down in her cot in the hope that it might get me a better stretch of sleep?
Also when she nods off on the boob she intermittently sucks but I'm pretty sure it's just comfort sucking and not drinking- should I unlatch her?
I realise it's early days but just want to make sure I'm doing everything effectively.
