Following on from my post regarding not being able to get my newborn to sleep last night ...

Last night my little one was attached to my breasts for 8 hours straight. She would fall asleep for just a moment and wake up immediately nibbling her hands and getting very distressed so I would put her back on the breast.

This morning I was reading about sleep props which means something that the baby relies on to get to sleep in this case my breasts !!! I'm aware now that this could become a major problem if I don't try and help my little one to sleep without the need of my breast . Can anyone offer me advice on what I can do in this situation ?

On my last post I received some unexpected hatred offering me useless 'advice' like "what did you expect" and "welcome to motherhood" im fully aware I have to feed often throughout the night BUT 8 hours straight nursing with sensitive breasts is killing me and seems as if she's using them for comfort ...

She falls asleep on the breast every time and I know that this is a habit we need to break !

Thanks
