[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He lost a lot of weight early on but has steadily gained. He is more likely to fall asleep at the breast than to pull away "full".  He can sleep after a feeding but it seems like it's too soon - he'll feed for 10-15 minutes when I've been told 30 minutes is the norm, hence why I am worried about how much he is eating.

[b]Regarding the paci I am worried not about hardcore nipple confusion but the shallow latch. If he can't latch on me well, it just seems like a pacifier will be counter productive if we use it for a long time. We use it here and there[/b]

The LC at the pediatricians office recommended the NUK brand and to buy it in the larger size (I think it was 6 mo) so that the baby would be used to sucking on larger things... worked for us, might be worth a shot.

Also, I used to go to the Breastfeeding Center's newborn class and weigh my baby before and after feeding so I could get a sense of how many calories he was getting.  It was reassuring to me since I always thought he was getting so little because he nursed quickly, but it turned out he was fine.  I even rented a scale from them for a couple of weeks when I was most worried about it.[/quote]
