When do babies usually go through their first growth spurt where they start eating more?? FTM

I know babygirl

@verobaby, I would sacrifice anything for her!!

yes baby girl you got this. it's all part of a mother's sacrifice!

@verobaby,

It's definitely hard... And I always feel so bad when she's hungry and I have to pump before she can eat... I'm not giving up though!! We got this!!

yeah i bet. i heard exclusively pumping is supper hard so much respect for mothers who do it!

@verobaby, yes I've talked to one. That's why I'm pumping and bottle feeding it to her bc she tried to help her latch on and she couldn't or wouldn't.. So we tried the shield.. She will use it sometimes when she feels like it.. But most of the time I have to pump.. I'm trying fenugreek and I'm going to get some more milk plus and see if I can get my supply up some more.. I can barely keep up.. As soon as I pump what I can, shes eating it lol

your supply might have evened out which is why you see a drop in pumping. also the amount you pump has nothing to do with the amount you produce. have you tried talking to a lactation consultant. they might be able to help you with your baby's latch. you can call your doctor or go on to la leche league website. they have consultants there who can meet you as well.

I've been pumping like crazy lol and I know that my supply is dropping bc my girl can't latch on all the time bc my nipples are flat, she will use a shield every now and then, but I've been pumping the whole time and 3 days ago since she was born I was getting atleast 6 oz out of each breast and now I'm lucky to get a full ounce or two from each... I had 30 oz frozen and 50 oz in the fridge when she was 4 days old.. I've had to use it bc I can't keep up.. So now as soon as I pump she's eating it bc she's eating a lot more @verobaby

idk your situation but from experience pumping helps more than any supplement or drink. I'd try that first & feeding on demand. can i ask why you think your supply is dropping?

@verobaby, thank you! I'm trying really hard lol but I can't keep up lol my supply is trying to drop so I'm trying fenugreek

yeah my son did the same. i believe there is another one at 4 weeks then again at 6 & one around 3 months. my son is 4 months old those are the only ones I've been through so far. i know they are hard but don't give up! you are made for this! @wrd2016

Ok my daughter is 9 days old and has started eating so much! And she wants to eat every hour it seems like... @verobaby

in the first two weeks in the first if i remember correctly
