Default refusal to feed after 5 mins

(Beth Kevles) wrote in message ...

-- Let her nurse for just five minutes, but wake her after a short time
-- either a really short time, like 10 minutes, or else about halfway
to when you expect she'd awaken on her own -- and feed her again **on
the same breast**. So you do two feeds on one breast instead of
switching at every feed.


Feeding off the same breast for more than 1 feed can reduce suppply.
It may be a good thing to do now because it gets the baby more
hindmilk than foremilk and the foremilk can bother their tummies, but
be careful about doing that.
