My dd is now 11 days old and we have generally been lucky with the Bfing. She latches on and sucks really well and my nipples seem to be coping well with the onslaught
Some days she will go about 3 hours between feeds and seem really peaceful in between. However, every few days she wants to go on the breast ALL the time - when she's not feeding, she's crying. Yet, she doesn't always take a big feed and sometimes it seems that she just wants comforting.
She will often go between 5 and 7 hours between feeds at night - maybe I should wake her up , then she wouldn't be so hungry in the day?
She hiccups a lot and brings up quite a lot of milk every day - no more so on these unsettled days.
Just wondering if this is normal and if so, will she grow out of it? Also, should I be tempted to offer a dummy - would it help?
