I had my daughter Friday, she latches on perfect but I don't think she's getting enough, she wakes up feeds for 15 to 30 mins at a time, till she falls back asleep or just moves away, but she cries and cries till I latch her back.. this is my first time breastfeeding so I'm nervous she's not getting feed all the way!

It's completely normal for baby to do cluster feeds. It's her helping you produce more milk. The first few weeks are tough because it will feel like baby is ALWAYS at beast but this is normal. Continue nursing her on demand. Remember to stay extra hydrated (with water- coffee/caffeine will dehydrate you) & eat an extra 200-500 calories a day of healthy snacks to help boost supply. You're doing great momma!

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, thank you I was wondering if it was normal or not, but I figured she was atleast getting something bc I ate a fiber bar, to help us both use the bathroom and she went right away! I don't drink anything but water, so I'm just worrying myself lol ill give it some more time!
