I would keep trying to get him to take a pacifier, it took us a couple weeks to get E to take one, and try other comfort measures like the swing or bouncer so that he can have other methods for settling for times you're not around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-nursing-every-hour-at-12-weeks#post-1031196 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:21:02 +0000 Boheme 1031196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: @birdofafeather: Both. He actively nurses for about 20 minutes, then drops off to comfort sucking. I am totally guilty of letting him comfort suck to sleep because its the one thing I've found that works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-nursing-every-hour-at-12-weeks#post-1031142 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:06:57 +0000 birdofafeather 1031142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: that's my question. is he getting a full feed in or is it for comfort. i had to work hard in the beginning to make sure she was getting a full feeding in so she could last a little longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-nursing-every-hour-at-12-weeks#post-1031066 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:43:39 +0000 emg86 1031066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...is he actually eating or just comfort nursing or using you as a paci? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-nursing-every-hour-at-12-weeks#post-1031024 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:32:05 +0000 Boheme 1031024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My biggest concerns - him going to the sitter and being miserable when I go back to work, not leaving enough milk for him with the sitter, and him not getting enough sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-nursing-every-hour-at-12-weeks#post-1031022 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:29:18 +0000 Boheme 1031022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been attempting to implement EASY to get DS some nap time in. He is sleeping one good stretch at night (4 hours) but after that he's nursing every hour. He nurses almost every hour during the day too! I feel like a crap mom because he can never get a good nap. </p> <p>He's gaining great, plenty of wet and dirty dipes, my milk supply is good. He's very happy and smiley. Is this just a phase? Our pedi told us to try to give him a pacifier, but he won't take one - no matter what kind. </p>
