I'm trying to work out if DS is comfort gumming on my boob or if he's actually still feeding slowly.
At the beginning he really guzzles down the milk but after about 10 minutes he slows down and suckles on and off. If I leave him to it he'll eventually drop off (after about 30 mins) but someone suggested that he could actually be not feeding during the latter stages and only gumming for comfort?
Any suggestions on how to tell?
Thanks
