Hi guys,

Add me!! And questions for anyone who can help:
1. I am feeding Chloe for 10 mins then burping and changing her nappy then another 15 mins before she detaches herself or falls asleep. Is this enough for her? She is usually so sleepy at the end that I cant get her back on again. OR can I feed for 20 mins without stopping then change her nappy and try to top her off with more? - Is that too long to feed them without burping??
2. Should I change her during the night - i.e. the 2:30 am feed? If I know she has a dirty nappy?'

Ok, this is just what I do... so if anyone else knows different, pls chip in! I feed A for as long as she'll go for on the first side. Sometimes it's 30 mins. When a baby feeds they first get the thin watery foremilk. As they drain the breast, they get the thicker fatty (high calorie) hind milk. If you only feed for shorter times on each boob, she runs the risk of having too much foremilk which can give poor poos (watery/explosive I think?) and tummy pains. Plus it's better for supply to drain the breast. So sometimes our feed is 30 mins first side... falling asleep - go & change her.. then as long as she wants on the second side. Might be 5, might be 25. (is usually less though).

2. Should I change her during the night - i.e. the 2:30 am feed? If I know she has a dirty nappy?'

Yes I always change at a feed... I guess if the nappy was really clear then I mightn't, but I always change half-way through my feed (as described above).

Oh and i've grabbed the list of births from the other thread and put them into my first post up top.
