Ok need help.. my son nurses for over an hour and then starts rooting like crazy and chewing on his fingers when I take him off to burp him. I don't understand how he's nursing for soo long but not getting full. also we have a 3rd apt weight check because he isn't gaining. I'm so ready to say screw breastfeeding.
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
I need advice on nursing!! Baby has been nursing for over an hr.. He stops I lay him down he starts to cry and looks for the boob!! How do I know if he's getting enough!! This is harder than I expected. HELP!
My son :/ I've been trying to get my son to say please for the longest time. Any time he wants anything I tell him to say please and he has never said it. Well I decided to night wean him because I can't handle him wanting to nurse all night with being so exhausted from this pregnancy. So the first time he woke up last night and I refused to give him the boob and what do I hear? "Please mama. Please." Lol, how could I say no to that?! So here I am at 7:30 nursing him for the 4th time since we went to bed :/
I jus love him.
Just saw this on the news... Apparently military moms can't nurse in public?!? I find that ridiculous!!!

they also have vitamins and there's some other natural things you can take to help keep your supply. @jamielynn07

I totally know how you feel. People told me that too and it just made me feel awful that I couldn't feed my kid the way God had intended. It's definitely not for everyone, sadly. But there are ways to increase your supply that work for a lot of people. There fenugreek supplements, mothers milk tea, oatmeal, non-alcoholic beer. The list goes on lol. So if you want to try those options before giving up, there's still hope. But don't feel bad if doesn't work. Sometimes our bodies just don't cooperate with us. It's definitely not from lack of trying!

@evococa, people keep telling me that everyone can nurse but I really don't think I'm making enough. and I'm exhausted and taking care of a 4 year old I really don't have time to feed him for this long and often

You should see if your hospital has a nursing clinic. They can see how much milk he's transferring. I had that problem with my son. He would be on the boob for an hour and still be hungry. I just wasn't producing enough. We had to supplement with formula and sadly my supply dried up by the time he was 3 months no matter what I tried (and I tried just about everything).

I don't feel full ever anymore. I don't think I'm making enough. I nurse him every 2-3 hours and try to pump once a day for stimulation but I'm not getting much @mommytobe607

maybe he's not getting enough or he's sucking but not sucking hard enough. do you still feel full after he nurses? or does it feel like he has emptied some out?
