I Love Breastfeeding But Its Hard When My Pump Is Taking 2 Years To Get Here, And Plus I Feel Like…

Why do you feel like you need to switch? You might feel like she's not getting enough but if you put her on your breasts often and is peeing pooping I'm sure she is! I felt the same but here I am almost 8 months later and still going strong 😁!

How many wet diapers is she getting?

Babies start cluster feeding as they grow. They may want to eat as often as every 30 minutes when this is going on. Also, babies love to suckle to be soothed. Frequency of nursing doesn't mean your baby isn't getting enough. Not only that but you may be more disappointed when you get your pump. Your pump won't give you a good idea of how much you are producing because the pump does not get milk out of your breasts half as good as your baby can. Monitor the diapers and stay hydrated yourself

It's 6 wet diapers a day after day 6 of life. That's the only way to know if baby is getting enough.

@anap1012 @shananaginsx @arivera64 @meagansimone I Feel Like Shes Not Because I Feed Her Seem Like Every 30 Mins And The Hospital Said Every 2 Hours

but She Is Pooping And Peeing

That's great! Put her on as much as she wants to be there. She's just making your body produce milk. Don't think she's not getting enough. The more you put her on the more your body makes. Do you feel a let down?

Thats totally normal. Hospital nurses and doctors don't get much education in nutrtion for infants. How old is she? the first few months are back to back growth spurts.

Baby needs to eat at LEAST every 2 hrs at this age, but it can be more. Look up cluster feeding. Don't be discouraged. She is peeing and pooping then she is getting milk! You are doing just fine mama.
