I'm literally going day to day for the past week off very little sleep she's not latching very well still struggling with that and she gets up every hour sometimes every two hours to breastfeed its like my boob is not producing enough milk for her needs I'm just so tired and upset . Calling a consultant about this on Monday I really don't want to formula feed, nothing wrong with those who do but I wanted this bond.

Its because her stomach is a little bigger than a ping pong ball and babies digest breastmilk faster than formula. its perfectly normal.

I am going through the same thing. He remains hungry even when I pump every two hours and bottle feed that to him he hasn't latched to my breast. Going to see consultant tomorrow in the meantime ran out of donor breast milk so formula it is. I can't starve him I'd feel horrible! So know how you feel it's so exhausting

Only way you can get some sleep is call the dad up to come over there and take care of the baby while you go to sleep

you're doing a great job. her stomach isn't very big so she has to eat frequently. what I did to ensure my breastfeeding journey started off on the right foot is stayed topless with baby. she's going to feed a lot. do not give her formula or you won't have enough milk for her yourself. let her establish your supply and work out that latch. remember big open mouth with her body close to you so her chin can be close also with her nose free to breathe. when she latches if her lips aren't right, I would always try to pull them out if that makes sense. message me if you want

They always tell you baby will eat for x amount of minutes ever x hours but I feel like that sets you up for failure as a breastfeeding mom. In reality they should say feed baby on demand when they seem hungry, even if it seems like constantly especially in the first couple weeks :(
