I feel like the reason lewy wouldn't sleep lastnight was because he's not getting enough milk .. I say that because we're having the same problem today. I latch him on and he stays for a long time and eventually falls asleep and unlatches but as soon as I put him down he's crying again and looking for the boob trying to eat. Idk what to do to get my supply up, HELP !! 😞

He's getting enough. Their little tummy is really small. He wants to be next to you and he can also hear your heart beat. It's comforting. My baby boy is 7 weeks and still does it. The baby will feed when he's hungry and it will increase your supply the more he nurses. If he's sleep pump and put up. How old he now? @klove23

babies nurse for more than just food. he can use you for comfort too. my son would do the same. as long as he is gaining weight & getting the right amount of wet diapers you are fine. this is a very common misconception about breastfeeding.

also you don't always hear baby drinking. if he is comfort nursing you won't hear anything

@verobaby, thank you, that's very reassuring! We have a Dr's appointment coming up so I guess we'll find out how he's doing

yes. make sure your doctor is pro bf. some get paid to push formula & the charts they use are from formula fed babies. nothing wrong with formula but if you are trying ebf don't let doctor bully you into it. some do. some babies do need formula as well. just something i thought you should know. my son is small because well i am lol so any other dr would have made me supplement but i wanna ebf so my doctor let me know.

@verobaby, really? That crazy. Don't wanna sound dumb but would I just ask her, whether or not she is ? lol I hope he is growing accordingly though because since i found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to ebf!

I knew my doctor because he was our doctor when my siblings & i were little. you could tell him how you feel about it & see how he responds but know you can always get a second opinion if you do not believe what they say. I'm not saying all dr are like that. some babies do need to supplement but not all.
