Hi, I'm new here, and I was hoping someone could help me. My 6 week old DD has never "finished" a feed, she would just suck for ever if I let her. She is gaining weight brilliantly (10 ounces last week!), so I know she is getting milk, and she is content and happy, with lovely nappies, so I don't think there is anything wrong, except that I never know if she is hungry when she cries. I know they are supposed to finish one breast before you offer the next, so that they get the hind milk, but how can I know when she has finished? She doesnt stop sucking, and I have tried squeezing the nipple to see if there is milk, but I can't really tell. Any advice would be brilliant.
