Hi everyone. I have a quick breastfeeding question. My ds is almost nine months and he's at that age now where he is very active-- crawling, holding and standing up and it seems he won't sit still to breastfeed. I offer the breast as often as possible before and after naps, before and after meals, in between whenever he seems fussy but often he might suck once or twice and off he goes to explore something. I'm constantly worried that he isn't getting enough milk. He really truly only feeds well when he's drifting off or half-asleep. He's also up at night 4-5 times breastfeeding. Any tips from you breastfeeding moms?? Also I'm beginning to worry about my milk supply if its drying up. How do I know?? He's gaining weight well and he's very active and healthy looking and he eats solids well.

Sally
