Those who feed to sleep

marley2580 · May 31st, 2008, 16:20 PM

Anyone else experiencing the joys of breastfeeding acrobatics? Kaya's bedtime is 7pm and she invariably does everything to stay awake including - rolling on and off the breast, feeding while on her stomach, feeding with her bum up in the air, burying her face in my breast, in fact she does everything but stand on her head (and she's not far off that).

Juleika does this since a while!

it is only possible to nurse her to sleep, when she is calm, means very tired and not too stimulated! and I have to sing and hum to her, what calms her down!

otherwise she loves to play with my breast! she takes my breast in both hands like a beaker, pulls it towards her face and latches on. she takes my nipple in her mouth and pulls my breast. she twinges my breast and my nipple, and she used to bite my nipple! the pushing her face inside the breast, she did as well in the past! and if I take her off the breast to put her in a sitting position, she still reaches for my breast and she is so quick and good at it, that she always manages to latch on again!

At this stage Izzie passes out any time she comes near my boobs. I have to get her down to just her diaper to try to keep her awake. I have to tickle her toes or her neck to wake her up and then half way through DH has to change her diaper and burp her to get her to wake up.

LMAO!!

That is hilarious!! My lil one rolls on and off the breast as well but not onto her tummy. This morning she was playing around and laughing at me as I was trying to feed her, as if I wasn't tired enough. It reached the point where I had to stop making eye contact with her.
