Baby burning too many calories at the breast

Were you told to limit your babies time at the breast because they were burning too many calories? That’s actually not based on science. What they should be saying is your baby is not efficiently transferring milk and we need to figure out why. If sucking alone burned too many calories, we would never let babies have pacifiers. inefficient milk transfer from prematurity and tongue tie, as well as other issues, can be factors for why a baby may need to be temporarily limited at their time at the breast. Premature babies may need several weeks to become stronger and become more efficient and tongue ties may need to be addressed before the baby has adequate enough range of motion to affectively feed. if there is a low milk supply from labor and delivery, other interventions needed to help stimulate milk supply while making sure Baby is fed.
