@kaileenicole16, my little guy won't fall asleep unless he's nursing. Its difficult sometimes but I really love that time that I get to spend with him at the end of the day. Breastfeeding is such a beautiful bond. It does get better. Just keep working at it, warrior mama!

It gets better with time. They need to constant nursing/comfort. She's also building up your supply. The thing with constant nursing is people thing baby isn't getting enough and start to supplement with formula when it's completely normal. Cluster feeding happens with growth spurts and teething too. It's exhausting but worth it. You're providing her with the best nutrition for her.

@emilyd, breast feeding is so hard😕 I can't ever sleep because she always wants to be eating

@kaileenicole16, it's completely normal for babies to have a favorite breast. My son just started favoring my left breast now at 2 months old, instead of my right breast at birth. Glad it worked for you! Babies are pretty easy to trick 😋

@emilyd, I just tried and that actually worked, she favorites the left side

Are you doing a cross cradle hold? If so, trying nursing her in a football hold on the left side and then just slide her over to the right breast (cross cradle) when you are ready to switch sides. My son favored my right breast when we started nursing and I would just slide him over to the other breast. He never knew the difference and now he's a champion nurser!
