Had no choice but to start pumping today, my baby boy was getting so frustrated bc he wasn't getting enough milk/getting…

How old is he?

Don't feel bad! He will still get breast milk

@babes101116, 3 weeks old

@gemsofjade, I know I just don't want to lose the experience of breastfeeding him from me 😫 I'm going to try to do both but I have a feeling I'll be pumping and bottle feeding from now on.

Aw probably just a growth spurt, at least he's still getting milk!! Keep putting him on the breast, maybe he'll get over his fussiness!!!

@babes101116, I'm going to! Bottle feeding will be an alternative. I hope so too thank you 😫

Yeah I would say definitely keep him on the breast and bottle maybe every other feeding or only at night

3weeks is a gigantic growtn spurt. I thought the same thing . There is no need for a bottle.

In the same boat. Just thinking of the positive that he's still getting breast milk

@meagansimone, there is when for two hours he tries to feed but just cries while latching and unlatching... The bottle was the only time he ate without crying hysterically

When he eats a lot during a growth spurt, tne flow of milk is very slow so he's getting mad at the sllw flow.

@meagansimone, I know - which is when I give him a bottle bc the stress on both of us isn't worth it. His breast latch is still wonderful though!!

Thats great. I totally understand where you're coming. be careful with pumoing though so you don't get an oversupply

@meagansimone, I seem to be having the opposite experience at the moment 😐 or at least it feels that way

3 weeks is like the biggest growth spurt so it's going to feel like that. I felt like that a first too.

@meagansimone, yeah it feels like I have no milk left at all after a feeding/pumping session
