The first few weeks are important for establishing a good milk supply.
You want to nurse your baby frequently. I would nurse every 2-4hrs and lasting about 20 minutes each side.
Make sure your baby completely empties out your breast. It's important they get that fatty milk in the end because it will keep them full and gaining weight.
Drink lots of water. Breast milk is mostly water so you want to make sure you're drinking plenty of it.
Eat well. Don't skip meals.
I wouldn't supplement with formula. It can make it hard to establish a good milk supply if you do. If you must then first nurse each side 10-15 minutes each and if after your baby is still showing hunger cues then go ahead and offer an ounce of formula.
It's hard to tell if you're making enough. If your baby nurses good and after is calm and sleepy and hands are relaxed then you're making enough.
Breastfeeding information and tips
This is a post I've made to help women who are thinking of breastfeeding, or are breastfeeding and may have some questions about breastfeeding. It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
I was right..I was pregnant.. In pretty sure I Just had a miscarriage. I will post in comments. Please if you cannot handle seeing this don't look I don't want to bring up memories for anyone or to gross anyone out. I need advice and to make sure this is what I think it is
I don't think she gets it.
I swear sometimes I just need to renew my policy to not look at the comments in Facebook. I never used to. I don't know why I started. But the ignorance is real.
so I have 5 days to finish getting stuff ready. and I have no idea what I need for breastfeeding. I just want to get the basics. don't need a pump just yet, not that I can afford one right now, but yea any idea for basic stuff that I need for breastfeeding?
I would honestly completely cut our all bottles for the next several weeks. feed baby whenever he is fussy. short frequent feeds are actually better for your supply. the first few days will be a little rough. but your supply will increase quickly. my 4 and a half month old still eat about every hour for about 10 minutes. and sometimes even longer just hang in there. your body will do what it's supposed to. good luck. and remember you are constantly making milk. so even if baby isn't getting a ton he will still be getting some.
