Hello Mam my baby is 2 months old and continuously want to latch in the night even for one minute she won’t leave me … if I take her she starts crying I tried different methods to calm her but until she takes nipple she won’t stop crying

A. It's common for a 2-month-old baby to want to latch continuously at night. This behavior, known as cluster feeding or comfort nursing, often occurs during growth spurts or as a way to self-soothe. Babies at this age find comfort and security in being close to their mother, especially during the night. Here are some tips to manage the situation: 1. Ensure Full Feedings: During the day, try to encourage longer, more satisfying feeding sessions. A well-fed baby may nurse less frequently at night. 2. Swaddling: Wrapping your baby snugly can mimic the comfort of being held and help them feel secure. 3. Offer a Pacifier: If your baby is comfort nursing and not feeding, a pacifier might help soothe them (after breastfeeding is well-established). 4. Bedtime Routine: Establish a calming bedtime routine with gentle rocking, a lullaby, or a warm bath to help your baby relax. 5. Co-sleeping Safely: If you choose to co-sleep, ensure it is done safely to allow easier nighttime nursing while minimizing sleep disruption. If your baby’s behavior persists or if you're feeling overwhelmed, consult a pediatrician or lactation consultant for guidance. It’s important to care for yourself, too, as a well-rested mom can care better for her baby.
