Not been on in along time but just wanted some advice. I ahve breastfed all my babies and breastfeeding still at the moment but i'm experiencing problems.

He feeds well but i'm getting to the point now where he is feeding at the breast more for comfort rather than actually because he is hungry. And now its practically impossible to settle him unless he has been at the breast.

Any advice? I know he is not hungry because often he has brought milk back up because he is full!

I gave Isabella a dummy at this stage.

Nice to see you online, can't believe you have three little people now!

I'm trying but he's not having it, driving me bonkers. Does anyone know of any that are easier if baby is brestfed? IYKWIM? He just doesnt seem to understand what he's meant to do with a dummy?

Livvy was the same, think shortly after she had growth spurt.

She wouldnt have a dummy but would suck my finger
