And like @mrskc: said, absolutely awesome for supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-693229 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:22:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 693229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want sore nipples so just kept trying to take the boob out until I got really good at sliding it out unnoticed. Now, getting her to nap anywhere but my arms was a different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-693184 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:38:07 +0000 mrskc 693184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I would just leave her. let her suckle. It will do wonders for your supply. I used to spend hours with a baby attached to my boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-693152 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:23:44 +0000 matador84 693152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, just let her hang out on the boob! I swear I can remember nursing for what seemed like hours and hours and hours of nothing but baby and boob! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-693136 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:19:44 +0000 sarac 693136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, can you side lay while nursing? Anything to get you some sleep too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692687 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:13:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 692687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd leave her to nurse. Runsyellowlights has the right idea - lay down and make a nap of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692685 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:12:47 +0000 Maysprout 692685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was a comfort sucker too. My DH took over at some points and would do the 5 S's with her. But if he wasn't around I found that swaddling her and then nursing helped her stay asleep once I unlatched her. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692681 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:10:56 +0000 Arden 692681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me too! LO is only a week old, but seriously - ALL day. She hasn't even slept. Just nursing, constantly. I haven't eaten, haven't showered... when I get up to use the bathroom she cries till I get her latched back on. *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692669 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:06:32 +0000 stlginkgo 692669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: 1 month today!</p> <p>She starts as active sucking, falls asleep, and so she's just kinda hanging out with the boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692492 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:03:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 692492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a pretty constant nursing day here too! Only P is also really active so it's been me hanging on the bed with her with both boobs out so she can crawl around &amp; then whip back around for some boobage and then resume playing. lol</p> <p>Personally, I would probably lay down for some side-lying nursing &amp; take a nap with her. *shrugs shoulders* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692466 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:56:06 +0000 MusicaV 692466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she actively sucking when she falls asleep or just holding on? If she's just hanging out and not hurting you now, I'd let her stay there. Says the mom with a half-asleep baby hanging on her boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692431 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:42:22 +0000 Kemma 692431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692411 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:36:13 +0000 MamaJ 692411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stlginkgo: dang! I'd probably just leave her then. But my LO hardly ever sleeps so I take what I can get haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692408 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:33:21 +0000 stlginkgo 692408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: I've tried! The little bugger knows its a dummy, spits it out and screams :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692404 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:31:47 +0000 MamaJ 692404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you unlatch and slip a pacifier or your finger in?? That's what I used to do when I was desperate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/been-feeding-nonstop#post-692399 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:29:29 +0000 stlginkgo 692399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like this afternoon LO has been nursing nonstop. For the past 2.5 hrs she has been sucking on me. She has fallen asleep doing this, when I remove her she wakes up. </p> <p>So I am torn: have her nurse constantly so she will actually nap and wind up with sore nipples? OR unlatch her resulting in overtired baby but nonsore nips?</p> <p>Please help me hive! </p>
