Breastfeeding moms help me out. I am 6 days past delivery and my milk has came in, however since late last night I haven't really felt firm or full. Is this normal? My LO is eating every 2 hours and his sessions are getting longer, about 20-30 mins. Has my body just not caught up yet to his increased need? When should I start to worry?

You shouldn't pump until your supply regulates around 6 weeks. Then you can pump ater your first morning feed when hou have the most milk. Pumping too much can cause an oversupply which causes problems in mom and baby.
I'm the same way but I guess we are making enough milk for what are baby needs
@meagansimone, thank you! It was just such a change over night. It figures my pump would get here and now I don't feel like I need it.
No need to worry. soft breasts are working breasts. The full or engorged feeling tells your body you're making too much milk. Every baby takes the breastndiffdrently, some nurse for a long time and others don't. Babies also nurse for more than just food.
@meagansimone, thank you for the information. The hospital had me pump because my little man needing to be under the lights for jaundice and wouldn't just rest without myself or my husband soothing him. So they had me pump some so they could take him to the nursery so we could sleep a few hours.
