Breastfeeding - Nibbling

Nibbling This baby is eight weeks old and is doing almost no drinking, though very occasionally one sees a short pause in the baby's chin. A baby who breastfeeds only with this type of sucking could stay on the breast for hours and still not get enough milk. Something needs to be done here and if achieving a better latch, using compression doesnt help, the baby almost certainly needs to be supplemented. The best way to supplement the baby is with a lactation aid at the breast. Why? 1. Babies learn to breastfeed by breastfeeding 2. Mothers learn to breastfeed by breastfeeding 3. The baby continues breastfeeding and thus continues getting milk from the breast and thus increases the mother's milk production 4. The baby is not likely to refuse to latch on 5.
