is there a correct and right way to latch at night? can share how mummies do it at night? I have been latching baby lying side by side and baby will fall asleep after having his fill.. But will cry an hour later which I'll latch the other side.. and it could be for a couple of times till morning.. it's quite tiring.. But because we both are sleeping, I'm taking it that he is not latching till full and I don't feel my breast gets emptied, but is it tiring to get up and pump. how to do this correctly? just started latching my baby at night for a few weeks only..

my lo is nearly 8 mths now and still the same - latch multiple times at night but breasts nt fully emptied. i think it's ok and perfectly natural to let babies suckle for comfort. it's their instinct so i do not think that it is a bad habit or a habit that needs to be stopped. it is like saying scratching to relieve an itch is a bad habit when it's natural to do so. for me, i will let my lo comfort latch or dream feed or whatnot for as long as he wants to. i treasure it cos he's not going to do so forever. he will grow up all too soon
