[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a baby like that. At 3 weeks we both got thrush and the medication was supposed to stay in her mouth for 20 minutes without nursing so I started instituting at least 20 minute breaks between the end of one nursing session and the start of the next. That helped me a lot, and I extended it to 30 minutes and my baby eventually settled into more normal full feeds sometime between 1 and 2 months. If you haven’t yet, try koala hold for long nursing sessions so your back and arms don’t get to tired. Lanolin cream for the nipples. I will also say that the almost continuous feeding during the day resulted in excellent night sleep early for me — my second baby, who wants full meals, is not nearly so good a sleeper. I think you would be fine to take either advice; the above is my experience with feeding on demand to a snacker. Congratulations on the baby; sounds like they’re gaining really well and you’re doing great.[/quote]
