DD tends to be a bit of a cluster feeder all afternoon and until bedtime...which varies from 7pm up till 9ish....my question though is when to change sides.....after about an hour they both feel pretty 'empty' and a lot of the time I'm sure she's just treating me as a dummy but if I take her off she does the whole hungry cry and screams till i give her boob!...but when do you swap sides...she'll be on for maybe 5 minutes at a time then fall asleep....so I'll take her off....she'll wake......go on....fall asleep...you get the picture!!! I've tended to swap as and when one gets a bit sore but don;t know if I should be keeping her on one side a bit longer or not...hope this makes sense...it's the end of a cluster feeding session and my brain isn't quite where it could be!!!!!:laughing:
