When to stop a breastfeeding session?
If you are trying to prevent sore nipples, making your baby switch sides or stop breastfeeding is not a good way to go and may end up causing more problems in the future. Babies can usually decide for themselves when they’re finished breastfeeding or if they want to switch to your other breast.
When your baby has finished with your first breast take a moment to burp your them before offering the second breast. You may find that they do not need burping and you can let them start in nursing again. Many babies will drift off to sleep as their stomach is full and they relax. If this happens you may find it a good time to take a quick nap yourself. If you have positioned yourself well with pillows then you may have no trouble at all heading into a nap.
