Right oh wise mumsnetters can I please have some advice as to whether my LO is doing ok.
Isaac is 7 days old, has been exclusively BF have had no problems with latch or anything like that...
BUT at night at least one of his feeds seems to take at least 2 -3 hours. He fusses, sucks in front of the nipple, pulls himself off, falls asleep.
This stresses me, and I get confused as to which breast I should be offering him. I do change him between each side as this seems to wake him up and let him take the other side properly.
He will have 5 mins from one side then fall asleep, he will then wake up when I put him down and I will offer him the same side and this is repeated for at least 90 mins if not longer.
I know he is very little but I am not sure if this is normal, I have asked my mum and she can't remember if we were like this and the MW says anything is normal (!)
Is this normal, does anyone have any tips I can try to get this feed to be a bit shorter?
And now for my Boast -
Not only has my georgeous little man put on 3oz in his first week, I also bf him successfully in public yesterday @ 6 days old!!!!
