DD2 is now 5 wks and 2 days old and i'm still finding breastfeeding really confusing. i'm always battling with the following issues:
- how do i know she is still hungry after a feed
- how do i know when my breasts are empty
- trying to do single-side feeding but she will also take the other breast too
- DD2 seems to be using me as a dummy today and just falling asleep on the breast, but she has been able to get herself to sleep the past 2 days with a dummy....
- could she be having a groth spurt??? can she want more if she is just falling asleep after 2 mins on breast??
when will the confusion stop and are there any 'simple' rules that can help me understand what DD2 wants more....
