My gal is 8 weeks old and she on both BM and FM. My qns: 1. She falls asleep halfway while breastfeeding. Should I pump it out or wait for her to wake up for more feeds? 2. She doesn't like to be swaddled up and always 'fights' to have her hands out. Is it necessary to swaddle her? 3. I've just introduced pacifier to her tdy. When I tried to breastfeed her, she seems a little confused and took a while to suckle / drink. Is this considered as nipple confusion and if so, what can I do? TIA

1) observe wat is the trend for her these 1-2 times. If she is able to wake up after a short while (within an hr) then i guess u can wait for her to latch again. Otherwise u should pump it out as not enough milk removal from the boobs will trigger a drop in the supply 2) there are many theories for swaddle. It works for some baby by keeping them tight and secure feel but do what works for ur baby. Recently its also being discussed swaddle is not good for the hip/leg development. U can consider those cocoon style swaddle or just ditch the whole thing 3) it is a little nipple confusion as she s not ire which will give her milk but it is normal and will only happen a couple of times because babies are very smart, after a few suckles, they can v v well distinguish between the 2. No need to worry, my baby was on bottle, nipple, nipple shield, pacifier - still will latch. Soon in the future, they will know what is pacifier and will toy with it or outright reject it when u wish they didn't.
