Lazy/Slow feeder

Glad it's getting better! You can also try rubbing, or stroking the circle around the top part of the head (geez, how do I explain where that is? Where a crown would rest maybe.). Experiment and you will soon find the right area. Also pressing or massaging the hand palms will trigger a stronger sucking motion.

Glad to hear your milk supply is doing well.

Yaz I forgot about the laying down and feeding, after so many long feeds at night, I would put paige in bed with me at feed time and lay down and feed her, when she was done I would wake up and put her back in the camp cot in our room

Good luck

Thanks Julz and Yaz.

Jack was born on the 13th June.

My milk seems to have arrived now in full force so he also seems to be eating alot better now

Oooh, when did you give birth? Congratulations! I think most newborns are like that in the beginning. Best get yourself one of those soft neck cushions for feeding times and doze away when during those never ending night feeds. Or try cosleeping and nursing while lying down

Laurakim congrats on your son's birth!! LOVE the name!!!

Dylan was also a lazy drinker. Frustrating but he got better..

Thanks guys!

I dont mind the day feeds taking time but the night time ones get a little frustrating

Will just keep at it!

Yes, Ewan was the same. It was so frustrating, but I accepted in the end and it did become better with time, especially when I put him on the bottle. He would have and still ask for his bottle and I would give it to him and he would drink until he is done. I just check on him regulary so that he does drink and don't just sleep with the bottle in his mouth. If he is sleeping, I softly take the bottle away.

Frustrating I know, but hang in there it gets better.
