Hi guys! My lo is 6 days old today and she is always latching on me from 12mn to 5am at least even though in between isn't her feeding time. Does anyone experience this? How can I adjust her schedule? Is that also the reason why when I pump I don't have enough breast milk?
Latching should only last 15-20mins.. It's comfort latching for your LO. It will be tough on you if you continue to let her comfort latch. Seek professional for more advice on how to stop it...

Make sure she's actually sucking properly and able to get the milk out. If she's sucking properly she's probably latching for comfort, not because she's hungry. Will she cry if you unlatch?
My lo is 3 weeks old and he does this too. I know he's getting enough milk cos sometimes when he drinks too much, he will throw up some. So I'm guessing it's just comfort latching..?
She might just be comfort latching. Is she swallowing/her latch is good? No reason for them to latch on so long, according to the lactation consultant at the hosp.
