Question. How long does a newborn usually stays latched on to the boob to get a good feeding? Or its…

Depends on your baby

@mami1234 ohk thanks

You just let them go as long as they want. They will let go when done or fall asleep.

@kambam ohk because she falls asleep and then wakes up mad looking for it

Yeah dont be surprised if she wants to stay on literally all day. Its a good thing for both of you right now, however inconveniencing

@kambam @cubanese. Ohkay thanks mommas. First time breastfeeding and i just feel like shes not eating enough or at all so i was giving her formula but yesterday and today shes been doing so well with staying on for a good while. It just gets frustrating in the middle of the night when she doesnt want to latch on she starts being so fussy /: what do i do then? Or how do yall calm yalls babies down for them to latch on in the middle of yhe night

At night you just gotta keep trying. They're still learning how to nurse and when sleepy can get frustrated. I kept a syringe of expressed milk nearby and would offer small amounts if he wouldn't latch

Thats what i was thinking pumping at least 4oz every day save two 2oz bottles for the middle of the night. During the day she does perfectly fine

Usually whatever they eat is fine as long as they're pooping and peeing fine
