Breastfeeding and sleeping baby

I don't know what to do!
1. While breastfeeding my baby falls asleep. Do I wake her up to finish the feed or switch her to the other side?
2. How long should I breastfeed on each side?
3.She starts crying more for a feed at night. Is she really hungry every hour?
4. When she is feeding and her latch changes to suckling, and it starts hurting, I take it out. But then she won't put it back in. Has she had enough or do I wake her up?
Ariaana is 3 weeks old and I'm giving up already on Bf. Pl help!

How old is the baby? If she is getting up every hour it must be a comfort thing and she might not really be that hungry if she falls asleep while breastfeeding.

If it hurts then the baby is not latched properly. You really need to have the baby eat for about 15-20 minutes on each breast.
If he/she falls asleep a lot while feeding gently caress the chin to promote suckling. You can also take thier clothes off to keep them feeding. If they get all wrm and snuggly they tend to fall asleep.
Babies who are breastfed do tend to feed more b/c the breast milk doesn't keep them full as long as formula.
They also go through growth spurts and require to be fed more often..

1. I would change my baby's diaper to wake her up.
2. I just feed till she is done could be 10-30 minutes.
3. Yes she could be sometimes my daughter eats more at night that during the day.
4. not sure

My daughter is 3 weeks too. Try Kellymom.com they are very helpful as well!

this is very common.... warm baby all snuggly with her mommy and with a nice full boob ... of course she's gonna fal asleep   LOL.... although it can be frustrating for you.
Stop worrying about how long time wise she's nursing, thats less of an issue then her finishing a whole breast before you give her the other.
the milk at the beginning of a feed is watery it's called foremilk and the milk at the end of a fed is thick and fatty called hindmilk... this is what baby needs to keep them full longer so DO NOT swtich breasts until she's finished the first one. ... it'll feel all empty and floppy and she'll probably come off and root and fuss if she's still hungry, in which case offer her your other breast at this point and let her eat until she's done.
Undressing her and stroking her face are 2 good ways to try to keep her up and get her to eat more. If she seems to be filling up like that every hour or so she's probably cluster feeding to fill up for a longer sleep period... lots of babys do that between 6 and mindnight for a few hours and then sleep for a longer strech, it's very helpful actually for you to get a bit longer strech of sleep yourself. But if she's just drink a bit then she's probably snacking and you need to work at getting her to take a whole breast by keeping her up and trying to get more time inbetween those feeds.... not by letting her cry, by trying to distract her with a toy or song or soemthing.
If she's finished a whole boob and then does the suckling thing yes thats a good time to unlatch her and let her sleep.
You are trying too hard to fit into someone elses shoes honey  
Your baby is not everyone elses baby and it takes some time for things to work into a pattern.... not to say you can't look for clues and encourage things, but please don't worry about "how long" and things like that....... just learn to watch your own baby. It's hard at first, but you'll learn her clues before you know it  

opps, forgot to say that yes, in the first couple months they do have a lot of growth spurts ... you feel like you've finally figure them out and have a routine only to have it thrown to he wind...... and it's okay....... relax and try to "go with the flow." If she's hungry, feed her.... if she's not then let her sleep  ...... you're doing fine, you just need to relax a bit  

Thanks. One doc had told me 10 mins on each side and one had told me 30 mins on one and 10 on the other or till she's done. So I was really confused. I kept her suckling and my breasts became sore.
