I'm having a hard time with getting my son to nurse for a long period of time. He will for like 5/10 minutes then fall asleep, then wake up 1/2 hour/1 hour later wanting to eat again. I try to wake him to continue eating but he won't. So I've been pumping between him eating and feeding him a bottle bc he will stay up for the whole thing... I've noticed in not producing much milk. Less than 3oz every 2/3 hours.... What can I do to increase my supply since my son won't spend time eating at the breast? I'm afraid I'm going to have to give up nursing bc we can't seem to get it down.

Thank you @californiahaley! I'm living in a different state than all my friends/family so I'm kinda in my own with it. I went to a lactation consultant and she didn't really help much besides with latching. Thanks for easing my mind!
Pumping isn't an indication of supply amount. At only 2 week pp you don't need much more. Your supply will regulate around 6-8 weeks pp and you don't want to start trying to increase when it's not needed you could end up with an over supply which isn't fun
The only reason I have not killed myself is bc of my daughter and not wanting to go to hell I pray that I won't wake up the next morning
Moms! My baby's bottom is just so torn up and hot:( this rash won't go away fast enough! It hurts him so bad when he screams he throws up multiple times while getting changed! I don't know how to help him quick enough! Help!😭😭
How many of you waiting to use a crib till they got older my son will wake up every 3 hours in it crying he hates it but I put him in it every time he passes out should be used to it by now but if he doesn't sleep in it he will sleep like 7 hours at a time
My boyfriend hasn’t changed ONE diaper ever and my son is 9 months old. He hasn’t fed him in about 5 months, he doesn’t bath him and hes never been left alone with him and he doesn’t even wake up during the night to help with him. He MAYBE washes the bottles at night if it’s a good day and I’m confused as to how bc I’m a woman IM supposed to do all that by myself?? lmfao ya no.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
You're welcome ;). As far as keeping him awake try rubbing his cheek or feet. Never worked with my son if he was asleep that was it and I got an over supply cause I was pumping to and thinking I didn't have enough cause I'd only get 3 oz after nursing. Turns out that's excellent I had no idea.
