Enjoy these moments when he wants and needs to be close to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361608 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:35:53 +0000 Weagle 361608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's too young for habits to start. He will probably stop after a while. Plus, comfort sucking builds supply :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361589 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:28:26 +0000 chopsuey 361589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine. I let my LO comfort nurse and she can fall asleep on her own.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361583 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:27:04 +0000 regberadaisy 361583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TAKE HIM OFF!!!!!!!</p> <p>That is my biggest parenting regret that I let her stay on the boob even if she is not eating. Now that is the only way she will fall asleep. She is almost 6 months.</p> <p>ETA: hah OK maybe I over reacted a tad seeing as he's only 10 days old. But seriously, be cognizant of this and don't let it become a habit like I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361580 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:26:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 361580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not an issue at this point. Yes he's using it for comfort but he will grow out of it. Pretty soon you could try a paci f you have a good breastfeeding relationship too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361568 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:24:11 +0000 littlecasita1122 361568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you open to using a pacifier yet? I had to pop a pacifier in his mouth after he finished because he just liked to keep sucking even though he wasn't eating (he would nurse for 40 min so I know he wasn't really eating at the end). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361512 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:10:08 +0000 LAGS 361512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally wouldn't have an issue with this at this stage. He's so little, I don't think they can be spoiled yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-keep-him-in-the-breast#post-361496 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:05:02 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 361496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son will finish a feeding but then likes to stay on the breast and look up at me. If I take it out: he screams. Eventually he falls asleep &amp; all is good in the world...<br /> Is this OK? I don't want to create a bad habit that will be a pain down the road to break. He's 10 days old. </p>
