Super distracted nursing baby!

I love that my LO is so curious about the world, but oh boy have nursing sessions just become a struggle as she will latch for seconds at a time before something catches her attention. I am starting to worry she may not be getting enough, even though she is is gaining weight and a super happy baby. What are you moms doing to keep baby paying attention to the boob when nursing?

    Dd is starting to do that! I don't like it cause she can't latch on her own so i have to keep watching her while feeding and can't do anything else. Sometimes it helps if i change sides, i think the increased flow of the other side keeps her attention or maybe she was just fussing about a slow flow at the first breast?

    I've noticed that when I wear my shiny necklace (a Pyrrha pendant on a chain) she pays more attention and plays with that. Eye contact from me seems to help too - if I'm on my phone or watching tv her attention wanders
