Is it normal that after a week of giving birth I'm not producing as much breast milk, I mean I pump into bottles wen my boob's r full and sore and I let baby girl nurse but my milk is slowly drying up. I just wanna kno cuz I'm determined to breastfeed
thanks @crunchymomma cuz I was starting to worry I thought it was something I did wrong
never let your boobs get "full" that signals your body to slow down milk production. am "empty" breast makes milk faster than a "full" once. also no matter how empty you feel or how much you nurse, you can never run out of milk.
try looking into something called power pumping. also staying hydrated, and eating foods that help boost your supply
she might just prefer the bottle i know my son didn't like latching he would go for a few mins then fuss and fuss until i gave him a bottle.
I try to latch her every chance I get but it's frustrating to me and her that she only sucks for like 5 mins and cries until I give in and give her breast milk n a bottle
just make sure you nurse on demand, even if your baby starts eating every 30 minutes nurse when she wants to. and if they're sleeping at least wake them up every 2 hours to eat. if you at the very least do those 2 things you'll be able to successfully breast feed :)
