Baby on the boob all day 😢

Your baby is always safe in your arms. They're so little you won't "ruin" a sleep pattern by holding them or letting them nurse all day/night. As annoying as it may be to breastfeed 24/7 you are giving baby exactly what they need. And by all means try a pacifier! My son takes on and is perfectly content with it until he falls asleep he usually spits it out, and it is definitely saving my sanity lol

He's using you as a pacifier. Both of my boys have done this. I gave them pacifiers never had any troubles with nipple confusion and they suggest you give them pacifiers when sleeping to reduce SIDS. I recommend it. 

I had the same issue, some of it was cluster feeding but most of it was him using me as a pacifier. So I gave him a pacifier! It has REALLY helped. He only sucks on it for 30 seconds or so after I put him down but it's just enough time to get him to sleep after coming off the boob. If I try to give it to him and he won't take it after a minute or two I go ahead and feed him more. He is 3 weeks old and it has not at all interfered with nursing. I never wanted to give him a pacifier but now I'm glad I did! And the cluster feeding does get better by the way! My LO ate every night from 6-11ish and one time from 4:30pm-3:30am web nothing but diaper changes in between. He now eats every 2 hours during the day and 3.5-2.5 at night without cluster feeding. 

My son did the same thing. He was using me as a pacifier for a while which was awful. I wound up sleeping semi-reclined with him on my chest. I made a point to try and find places he liked to sleep besides me during the day and then tried that at night. It took a few nights but we finally have a pattern he follows now. We used a swing at first because it cups around him and he liked that snug feeling. But now He likes to sleep on his side and tummy so I let him do that during the day when I can watch him. And I just let him fall asleep in my arms during night feeds and then move him to his cradle and he usually does really well. We give him a pacifier when he's really fussy and just wants to suck on something and he will go right to sleep. 

Thanks for the advice! Last night he slept in his bassinet for over 8 hours with only three feedings :) hopefully he was just trying to. Get more milk in! 

My baby is the same, don't know what to do, she is three weeks now, won't take a pacifier. She feeds enough because we checked at the lactation specialist and her weight is going up very well. I'm her pacifier and I don't know how to get her to stop. 

Mine cluster feeds all day but will sleep for about 3 hours between feelings at night. 

I have the same problem at night. Baby wants to cluster feed and only sleeps if im holding her. I usually give it from 10-12 at night then I get so tired I wind up giving her a 2oz bottle of formula and get situated in a recliner with her. It's for my own sanity because after 2 weeks of this I can't function on no sleep. I think my milk goes down a little at night maybe that's why? I didn't want to give formula either but it's only 1 bottle a day that's not bad at all. And I put her vitamin D drops in the bottle to, and mommy gets some sleep! I give you credit for sticking it out to. You do a lot more than a lot of people would. Don't be so hard on yourself!
