if newborn doesn't latch on, what do they eat for the day ?!? I asked the nurse and she said "nothing, we just keep trying to latch her on or pump" .. but what if I have very little colustrum when I pump?! I'm stressed.
it takes a few days for the real milk to come in, until then, newborns stomach is the size of a marble. they only need a tiny amount to fill them up. you can tell by the diapers if they're getting enough (:
Babies have a 24 hour food reserve and even after the 24hrs their tummies are really tiny so they don't eat much. As far as not making a lot of colostrum that's fine. Only time to worry is when your milk comes in and you aren't producing enough. The amount of colostrum doesn't dictate how much milk you'll make.
if your trying to exclusively breastfeed keep pumping and trying to latch your baby. but if you aren't you can ask for formula. they always try and talk you out of it. but they give it to you.
Their stomachs are so small so if you're getting a little bit out and nursing very frequently it will be enough for baby and will help your body produce more. Now, If baby loses more than the normal amount than expected they may ask that you supplement with formula, and if you do that, make sure you're able to pump so your body still knows you need the milk to be produced since milk is a supply and demand thing.
My son wouldn't latch either but he was preemie and had to be in the nicu but I wasn't producing enough so I gave in and let them feed him formula and mix it with what I pumped and brought to him cause I didn't want him going without. Hopefully your supply comes in good unlike me. mine still hasn't and my son is almost 3 months.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
I'd just keep trying to latch like the nurse said
