Hoping someone can offer me some advice.
I have a 5 weeks old who I am breastfeeding. She is a great feeder as she has put on 500g in 2 weeks. My problem is that feeding sessions tend to last around 1 hour. I believe towards the end she is not actually getting much milk out but is using my breast for comfort. She tends to be a sucky baby but will not take a pacifier, which I am not too upset about but I feel like I am being used and abused. I also feel like I miss out on play time as she cries when she is taken off and only goes to sleep or gets tired enough to put down when on the breast.
Any help please?
