I agree with the above. In addition, tho, with a sleepy newborn, keep them at
the same breast and use breast compression when baby slows down or pauses.
I've also learned that a baby with its eyes closed may still be feeding., but
mom thinks they "fell asleep". I wonder if LLL will consider altering this as
they revise the breastfeeding answer book?
