Snacking!
« on: June 20, 2006, 23:48:03 pm »
How do I get my lo to take a full feed everytime I feed her?  Sometimes she will snack and then wants to eat an hour or two later.  (She's 5 1/2 mo)

You could try doing breast compressions to encourage her to drink more of the hindmilk at each feeding.

Just wanted to add,

Keep in mind, it could be a growth spurt causing her to want to nurse frequently.  If that's the case, it's probably a good idea to just forget about the clock until it's over, and just nurse her whenever she wants.  This will keep your supply where it needs to be.
