HELP FTM ‼️ I had my LO 2 days ago and at the hospital I breastfed only. I felt like she wasn't getting full and asked for a bottle to sub in between. The nurses were like it's gonna take time etc etc. so now that we're home it's the same thing. I brought enfamil gentlease which seems to make her even more fussy and she spits it up right after she's done. What can I do to ensure she's eating? Doc appt Tuesday..
Yeah just make sure the baby is on the boob every 1-2 hrs or you pump... gotta wake the breast up. I went through same thing. It's coming.
Your milk can sometimes take a bit to make a supply. Gotta let your baby eat as often as possible as long as possible. Baby will naturally boost your supply. Try not to supplement. If baby start to fall asleep wake her up, switch sides. There is so much I didn't know the first time around, but this time I've learned A LOT
the more you put baby to breast, the quicker your milk will come in! good luck mama!
This happened to me. Your milk will come in a few days. I know hearing your baby cry is terrible but for now all your baby needs is the colostrum(little bit of clear liquid" that you are producing) their stomaches are small right now. Keep putting the baby on your nipple every chance you get and your milk supply will come in. I gave my daughter formula the first day because she wouldn't stop crying but then I read it was normal so I stopped and two days later my milk came in. Breastfeeding is hard work but it is so worth it. God luck!
