Enjoy the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-how-to-know-if-she-is-eating-well#post-1268102 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:20:36 +0000 daniellemybelle 1268102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you're right - I just know that when she's sleepy, she'll stop drinking. I usually do compressions to keep her sucking. I wake up feeling very full which makes me think she isn't emptying. </p> <p>I know co-sleeping regularly isn't for us but I wonder if we really need to supplement at night of her weight gain is good &amp; she doesn't act hungry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-how-to-know-if-she-is-eating-well#post-1265853 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 15:41:49 +0000 cmomma17 1265853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she is hungry, she will let you know! </p> <p>My desperation for sleep led to co-sleeping too. We have been doing it for about 3 months now! It's working out really well, and we joke that LO "sleeps at the tap." He wakes to eat a few times each night, but I'm still getting more rest because I never have to get up to feed him. It's working out really well and I believe it has actually increased my supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-how-to-know-if-she-is-eating-well#post-1265823 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 15:33:52 +0000 sarac 1265823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, this is a really good way to increase your supply. She'll sleepy nurse for hours, if you can stand to let her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-how-to-know-if-she-is-eating-well#post-1265728 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 14:53:53 +0000 daniellemybelle 1265728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My desperation for sleep &amp; LO's growth spurt has made for a few nights of cosleeping lately. I don't mean to - I usually start out side lying nursing &amp; wake up hours later. </p> <p>I don't want to make a habit of it because I am personally not comfortable with the safety. But another thing I worry about is that I have a low milk supply &amp; have to supplement. When we do this, she usually goes all night without a bottle. She just falls asleep on the boob. I fall asleep too so I don't know how long she nurses. If she was hungry, she'd cry, right? I feel guilty going all night without supplementing but her weight gain is great. </p> <p>The other thing I do worry about too is if she is nursing well enough to get all my milk out? If I go too long or don't have good sessions, it won't be good for my supply. </p>
