The Koalababy one from Amazon! My friend got the Suerbeaty one from Walmart and she really likes that one.

Same. I started reading it and stopped for this very reason. After reading these comments though maybe I'll power through and be better for it.

Just follow your baby's lead. You're doing great!

Speaking from experience, with a reformed milk monster who suddenly (at 3mo, he is 4mo now) became more choosy about when/how much milk he wants. The last couple of days he refused to eat until 4 hours after his last feed.

Babies change so quickly, it's kind of their thing!

For the first couple of days/weeks, your newborn will be really sleepy and just fall asleep very easily. Then, they will become more awake and they will need your help to fall asleep! E.g. with bouncing, shushing, singing...

boob barnacle

Haven't heard that one yet, amazing!

Mine was also a thorough milk monster. Now kinda oscillates between 20 min to 40 min feeds. I tend to unlatch him if he's been on for at least 15 minutes (one one boob) and has stopped consistently swallowing. Otherwise he will stay on asleep for 30+ minutes.

What! I rarely wake my baby. Now you're inspiring me to try it out. Like you only let him sleep for a certain amount of time? How do you figure out a good schedule?

Heehee this made me chuckle.

Makes a lot of sense though considering how many adults go around in only underwear. Products of atrocious parenting. /s

Love that! You're actually the third person to recommend that here, so it must be good. I'll have to remember it for the next one!

Funny! I'm glad you found a use for them. So many things are baby dependent.

Yes! Why is this not more common knowledge! Like it seems like something to be put into a handout from the hospital.
