so im crying bc my SO is telling my that he doesnt think his only 4 day old son is getting enough from my breast…

When I was a baby my mom put just a little bit of cereal or rice supplanting in my milk to make me feel full. Which actually helped me sleep more through the night. In which I'm 25, my mom didn't know what strep b was, and went to 43 weeks pregnant with me. Times have changed, but MAYBE it will help you and you can still pump into a bottle and add the rice or cereal to fill him up if he really isn't getting enough. That way you can still feed like you want and he gets enough. Just a thought. @us mmerbaby89

it's normal for them to be hungry like that ! He obviously needs to do some online research or talk to your doctor himself !!

Lord men swear they are the ones who gave birth

First of all, TOTALLY on your side. Men can't always hear it from a woman 😒😒 maybe if a respected male told him he'd believe and support you 😑

exactly! i just think he honestly has a problem with me having to feed him that often...well too bad i feel like saying to him, hes not the one that has to feed him, its me and if im ok with i then yeah he should be more then supportive about it but hes not....i think its also bc he wants to feed him too and feels like im hogging the baby or something. idn....@jessicarose0602,

doctor told me that if I would have breast fed that my baby would be eating every 1-2 hours and that's it's completely normal. my daughter eats every 3 because she is bottle fed. tell him to look it up online or something if he doesn't believe you, geez. he needs to cut you some slack. you are the one doing what you feel is best for your son, and hey, breast milk is free so he shouldn't complain!!

@michelle2220,

yeah planning on doing that tmrw, thank u 😊☺

maybe make a Dr appointment and have the Dr explain it to him. it's just a checkup appointment too so they can do a weight check and everything so he doesn't have to worry

ive been telling him that, he makes me feel like im crazy, hes like no theres something wrong, somethings not right, hes just starving to death, ur not producing enough, im like dude look it up, babies can eat every 1 hour at this age, he knows NOTHING about it! this is my second child and i breastfed with my first, this shouldnt even be an arguement @mimiz

4 day olds have s tummy the size of a walnut maybe less they cluster feed on boob it's NORMAL tell him to bug off
