Help! Baby won’t sleep unless suckling??

Question

Falls asleep nursing every time. Go to put down. Wakes up crying hunger. Won’t take pacifier. I’m very tired.

Answer

There is a saying where i am from: never move a sleeping baby😜
Just let her sleep (in a save way)next to you until the next feeding. She most likely just likes to stay next to you and your warmth, instead of a colder babybed. This is how you both can get some sleep. You can’t spoil a newborn/baby. 
No suckling the nipple, just for suckling sake though, that can give problems/pain whilst feeding eventually.

Answer

My son wouldnt take a pacifier until he was 8 months old. But once he did he slept soooo much better. He went from waking up 4 times or more a night to only about twice a night. And then eventually finally sleeping through the night. I would buy a few different kinds and keep offering them. Plus when babies constantly comfort nurse eventually you might produce too much milk. And I had a few times where my nipples hurt so bad I would cry when he first latched on.

Answer

Maybe it’s just comfort nursing, not that baby isn’t getting enough or is hungry. Like mine loved her pacifier so much and had to stop it. Now she uses my breast as one. So probably just comfort nursing. But can get draining when you really need to sleep. Look up “ how to get baby to self soothe”. Baby will learn to sleep independently

Answer

Just hold him while he sleeps?

Answer

Is the baby getting enough milk ? Maybe he isn’t getting enough each time, just an idea of what could be the problem. I’ve seen a post similar before
