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
took me 10 minutes to pump this from both breast after feeding Ethan for 25 minutes. My milk supply is going crazy yesterday I pumped 8 bottles my milk stash is going to be great
So my son has never been breast feed or bottle feed (he eats by his feeding tube) and the last couple of days he has been trying to eat my breast and when I say eat I mean bitting them idk why and I told the nurse's and they said he might be teething I really hope he is lol and he is fighting sleep so bad right now
for those of you who are breast feeding I'm trying to breast feed and when my baby latches it hurts after a minute it stops hurting but when he's done eating it hurts for like 10 min. is this normal?
What do you mommies think about smoking pot or eating edibles while pregnant/ breast feeding ? Is it bad ?? I wanna try smoking for my nausea and to help me sleep but im not so sure
Has anyone transitioned to Enfagrow. However its spelt from Enfamil? My son still is super picky eating. He's a very BAD eater as in he won't eat anything really. Hes still on formula no biggy. but hows enfagrow? Stay away from the breast feeding topic! He'll be one Friday.
@preggerstone, thanks! That's so cool:) I hope my son gained weight over the last week.we'll see next time we go to our pediatrician
