seamonster Are you sure he's just comfort nursing? I have to nurse DD for 20 min up to 1 hour every night to get her down. Many times she'll fall asleep nursing but then wakes up as soon as I move to put her in the crib. I have to make sure she is completely out before I put her down but once I do she'll sleep 6-7 hours.

I know it's Wednesday. But I have a question and don't thunk it warrants its own thread.
I know babies tend to favor one side. My first did but it was never usually a problem. But DS refused to eat off one side. I've tried several different positions and he won't eat longer than 20-30 seconds. It's not my letdown because the other side does the same thing and I've also let it drain and try agin and he refuses. Is that okay, normal, etc.?

He's passed out and sucking but not swallowing. I was thinking last night thati might be able to slip a pacifier to him right after I unlatch him so he can sick on that. He does chow down again once he wakes up again. It's hard to say if he's really hungry or if he just wants to nurse to sleep. When he's finally down he sleeps about 4 to 5 hours.

There's a randoms thread on the BF board that may have better help. I think it's normal to have one side that makes more milk. Also normal to have baby prefer one side. Also possible to BF one baby with one breast. So I would think it's not going to stop you from BF as long as you'd like? But just guessing. I would be so lopsided in size if DS stopped eating one side!

DD is exactly the same! I'm thinking she is to tired to eat but too hungry to fall completely asleep. Weird kids.

I second what lilyelayne said in that I think it's ok and probably completely normal. I'm guessing you've tried holding him like you would for the "good" breast and switching him to the one he doesn't like? That's all I can think of. If you need to I guess you can pump the other breast to keep the supply going and also build a stash.

I do the paci switch all the time. DS will lay here and comfort nurse forever if I would let him. I get the paci ready and then just slowly unlatch him and give him the paci all in one motion. He rarely wakes up from it and is perfectly happy sucking on the paci.
