My newborn wants to breastfeed constantly in the evenings. It feels like I'm a human pacifier! Is this normal? Any tips for surviving these cluster feeding sessions without losing my mind?
Oh wow, I never thought of that. Thanks for the tip!
This is a developmental phase. Their sleep cycles are maturing. We read 'Precious Little Sleep' and it had some great tips. It does get better!
Have you tried gripe water or gas drops? They were a lifesaver for us. Also, look into paced bottle feeding techniques, it can help them swallow less air.
Yep, that sounds exactly right! Mustard yellow and seedy is the classic breastfed baby poop. It's a good sign they are getting enough of the fatty hindmilk.
Try doing it on your chest while you're lying down! My baby tolerated that way better than on the floor. Or roll up a towel and put it under their armpits for support.
