Hi there - my baby falls asleep on the breast very early on - I have tried everything I can think of - frequent winding, playing with her feet to wake her up, even stripping her off so she's a bit cold/more awake.
This is affecting her feeding - I don't think she's getting enough milk even though I can go literally all day with her on my boobs. I feel like I'm permnanently BFing, with the odd ten minute break now and then when partner takes her off my hands.
The other thing is that she won't sleep unless she's on the breast. She'll fall asleep, I'll put her down and her eyes fly open and she starts to scream. Things are really difficult right now and I don't know what strategies to use to try to remedy the situation.
