My week old newborn nursed 4 times within 2 hour before we went to bed and then supplemented 1 1/2 fl oz of formula and she is barely waking up to feed almost 5 hours later and she only nursed for about 5 minutes on each side? Is this normal?? Is she getting the nutrients that she needs, and maybe she was just full?
@mommatoobee, they're having my supplement until my milk fully comes in. Because she was borderline jaundice she needed to eat as much as possible to keep pooping. I'm producing a lot more but they haven't fully came in yet.
all she needs is breast mama your body is made for it even if you don't think she's getting enough she is she's a newborn she doesn't need a lot and your boobs produce according to what she needs its all about supply=demand I would keep putting her on the boob a lot of mamas give up breastfeeding cause they think they aren't getting enough but your supply will only be as good as you demand it!
I would say since you're also supplementing she'll take a little longer in between feedings. my daughter wouldn't latch right so she would only stay on for a little bit and so I would have to supplement that and she was such a large baby I couldn't give her enough either. she'd go to sleep at 11 wake up at 2 then not wake up until 6.30 most times

My whole heart She Lived For 3 hours before she took her last breath mommy’s butterfly I’ll always love u !!!!
I'm in so much pain 😢😢😢 idk if I should call the 24 hour nurse and see what she says
Trying so hard not to break down... She has been so fussy the past two hours. Even nursing she takes herself and cries... I've tried gripe water and that doesn't help either... I feel like I'm failing because I don't know what to do
My baby mostly will nurse one boob power feeding. sometimes she will go to the other side but not till 30-45 minutes later. and seeing she is 5 days old I should be nursing every 2-3 hours but if she is sleep she refuses to wake up or don't be interested. she'll wake up herself the 3rd or 4th hour to feed.
sorry it's so long, do you ladies have any tips?
oh okay!! you're doing great 😊 don't give up!
