Can a baby suck while sleeping?
« on: November 14, 2005, 17:39:02 pm »
DD is almost 3.5 months old and she is still eating every two hours (from end of last feed to beginnig to the next feed). I always let her suck until she stops sucking before I remove my breast but sometimes it seems like she is sleeping while moving her mouth. Can this be possible? I am always afraid she is not getting enough hindmilk so I try my best to pat her and keep her awake for at least 20 minutes on the breast. But sometimes I wonder if this is working eventhough her mouth is moving. Does any of your babies do this?

Sorry, I just realized I posted this on under bottle feeding instead.  :oops: Please disregard.
