Ok, this is getting frustrating Breastfeeding Message Board

Keagan has started to play instead of nursing. He will take a bottle in like 5 min, but when it comes time for a nursing session, he does really well for about 15 min, then he starts pulling off and smiling at me.

I don't have time for him to sit there and play, so I take him off, and put him down and go do something else. Well, usually in like 30 min, he wants to nurse again.

I guess I could make him wait longer, but he acts really hungry for the first 15 min???

wait a little longer, see how he does...

Ashlyn does the same thing... but she started biting me to see my reaction then too..

What a little imp he's being to Mommy

He is so cute in that picture that you have of him. Alea was the same way, but instead of smiling at me she would fall asleep. It was so hard to keep her awake while she nursed. I would have to give her at least 2 ounces of milk from a bottle before she nursed so that she got enough to fall back asleep without waking up in 15- 20 minutes later. I would wait longer and then try to feed him.

He's adorable and the first thing that comes to mind is a nursing necklace. I don't think it's too early.

What a doll!
