So everybody is saying that newborn should eat for 15 minutes on both breasts or 30 on one. My son does that like once a day, other feeds are no longer than 6-10 minutes, he won't empty my breast and I'm worrying. He is gaining weight, but the thought that he's not eating enough is driving me crazy... Help :( do you feed your babies on demand or follow those breastfeeding rules? (

A lot of doctors are not educated on breastfeeding! If you have the right amount of wet diapers and they are growing they are good! That's why I feel many fail because professionals don't give correct info! You're doing great. And remember sometimes they will nurse A LOT like more often for a bit called cluster feeding because they are growing. Doesn't mean you don't have enough it just means they are growing and building your supply. Just feed on demand and let them finish when they want and offer the other side if to see if they want it. If they don't that's okay! My baby was born 6 lbs 3 oz and now at 4 months almost 15 lbs so I know it's fine. He has plenty of diapers lol!
the Dr should of told you as long as your son have wet and poop diapers he's eating. if you need help a lactation nurse will help out better
@preggerstone, I just hate it that doctors says that there are rules, it's confusing, I feel terrible, because I always think that I don't have enough milk or baby isn't eating well.. Just tired
Honestly your baby will eat as long as they want. There's no rules. My LO would eat between 15-30 mins only on one side. Sometimes both sides. Now he eats 6-15 mins on both sides.
She is for 15 - 30 mins but she's 4 months when she was that small I would just let her eat as much as she wants
@mommmyof1, but how long? I'm worrying that his eating sessions are short and maybe it's baking him gassy, since he's eating more foremilk and doesn't get enough hindmikk
My baby eats the way she wants I don't switch side because she gets mad if I change her
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...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
