AKA "The Power nap"
We all know it's totally normal for breastfeeding babies to fall asleep when they've finished their dinner. We know that in the first few days after birth it's also not unusual for baby to "forget" what they're were doing and take a quick snooze mid-feed, particularly if they're a little jaundiced or have had a more tiring delivery.
But what about when baby is consistently falling asleep before they're full?
It tends to go like this - baby drinks the first milk ejection or letdown, a nice suck/swallow ratio can be seen and this tends to be the part of the feed everyone watches.
As this naturally slows down, instead of pausing and then starting to drink with a regular swallow pattern again - baby adds more and more sucks for each swallow, becoming slower and slower until they're asleep.
Except they're not.
