Nursing while sleeping
Well, I tried nursing Caterpillar lying down. Neither one
of us were very satisfied with it, but I'm not sure how much of that was novelty, and how much was inherent to the setup. Do any of these things change / get better / go away with practice? -- If she only eats on one side, she wakes up hungry 2 hours later, rather than the 3-4 she'll go after both sides -- She slurps herself on if left to her own devices, which results in a less good latch -- If I keep my arm behind her head to help her latch, she's at the wrong height, and I have to hold myself up with the other hand -- She flails wildly for the 30-60 minutes it takes her to wake up and really latch on. So I get mouthed and hit and shoved and scratched. If I sit up and pick her up, she wakes up enough to eat. -- I feel the nursing enough that I can't sleep through it, and lying down is less comfortable (but more restful) than sitting up -- Switching sides is so disruptive to both of us that it hardly seems worth it Phoebe |
