A couple of weeks ago, my 3 month old began making eye contact with me while nursing, which is super sweet! And now he's onto something new, which happens about 50% of the time: he will nurse intently for a few minutes, then pull off every 10-20 seconds to look up at me, smile in delight, and then suck for another 10-20 seconds. I know that he's testing out the theory that I will be there, and he is double (triple, quadruple...) checking this out, and it's really adorable and heart-warming, but it's also kind of disruptive to nursing. He seems to be getting enough milk in general, but I'm wondering if I should just let him run this pattern, or if it's a sign that he's not really eating anymore, but he wants some face time instead. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!
