I'm not producing enough milk . I had to give in and give her Similac yesterday . now she's sound asleep. I gave her my breastfeed first and then the formula . then I pumped.
who else does both ? I didn't want to give formula but it got point when I thought she was full evetytime, 5 Mins later she wants to eat again . this happened every time :/
omgggg. I didn't know honey !! congrats ! and yeah I guess both is the way to go ! @schevanya
my baby is 2 days old and i do both because I don't have enough milk yet :(
how old is the baby? it's normal for a newborn to fall asleep during a feeding & then wake up after a lil while & need to eat again they're stomachs are so tiny. your body knows how much your baby needs to eat & only regulates that much if that's all she's eating. if you don't want to supplement get ahold of a peer counselor for breast feeding & have them help you.
It's the fact she keeps falling asleep while feeding and I keep trying to keep her up. I had no time to eat or drink, clean , shower; basucally anything because she always wanted to eat. not eating and drinking enough made me produce less. so while I feed her my breastfeed then during formula feeding I will be pumping @firefly
Your newborn should be nursing eight to 12 times per day for about the first month. If you feel like you're feeding your little one more often than someone you know whose baby is formula fed, you might be. Why? Because breast milk digests easier than formula, which means it moves through your baby's digestive system faster and, therefore, makes your baby hungry.
ohh thanks, yeah she's 2 days and doing both cuz don't have enough milk yet and she gets sooo hungry
