Qq.. I just got home from hosiptal... I gave birth on Thursday morning. I've been breastfeeding. At first it was hard then really easy .. Until I went into get my tubes tied so I was separate from him for few hours and during this time he has his privates circumstanced.. It was on Friday . When I came back ... It was a struggle . At first I thought it was probably because he was having pain so he was fussy but lately since yesterday and today he gave me hell. Like he would fight himself on my boobs but is still hungry and trying to patch?? I was told it's because he's really hungry and i only have colsttum..!until I have real milk he would be successful?? I'm feeling frustrated ..
He does eat well but it takes forever for him to finally suck n latch then go sleep n then cry j cry . It seems I can't take a break is this normal ???
don't get frustrated. a newborns stomach is the size of a walnut and they really only consume about 1oz or so every 2hrs. I think baby is getting enough from you, the colostrum, and you're making enough for his needs. I believe he's just in pain and is annoyed. continue to have him latch and pump right after, that'll help some.
