Noah sleeps longer after having formula, he sleeps 3-4 hours (which is the next formula feeding) but when he's breastfed he sleeps 1-2 hours max & when he wakes up he acts like he hasn't eaten all day. Breastmilk never fills this little guy up!
im gonna try that tonight. fingers crossed that I get some sleep lol thanks ladies :) @january10th @kaylhunt2 @leah_zaden_chase
that's what I do he gets formula at night when I run out of breast milk but I got to lazy to pump at night so I usually just wait until morning my milk hasent dried up yet.
have you tried just doing formula at night? im sure that could help. and you can pump at night and store it. thats what i do
Yea it really does suck 😔 but you could always do what @kaylhunt2 does & supplement only at night that way you can get more sleep 😊
it sucks because i wanna breastfeed him because its better for him but getting an hour of sleep at a time is so draining! I can never keep ny eyes open and I always have headaches now. I guess I have to do what I gotta do for my son lol @january10th @kaylhunt2
that happens. it kinda sucks. at the hospital they made me supplement because i didnt have enough for my lil man, and the formula stretches their little tummies. so then they want that really full feeling they get from formula and breast milk just doesnt quite do that. i only give Hunter formula at night.
lol its fine your "you should pump" counts as well haha should I do it only when he wakes up at night or as much as he would wake to eat before?? @january10th
