I need advice iv been breastfeeding exclusively for 4 months but it seems either my milk supply is dropping or she's going through a growth spurt. either way she's not satisfied and is hungry. should I supplement with formula until my breast milk goes up? It's been like this for two days I just hate knowing she's hungry
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
Athena is depleteing my milk and she's still hungry. I tried formula and she drank some then got mad and tried going for my boob again.
I know what I was meaning to ask y'all . Is it true that at the age of one your baby would have to switch to sippy cups because of their teeth rotting out? The nurse told me I would have to stop Carmen from drinking out of bottles since she's has been switched to whole milk because it will start rotting out her teeth.🤔 Help me understand because either way wouldn't the whole milk still be in her mouth unless you brush her teeth ?
So I found out my friend has herpes. She's known awhile and she's been around my baby since birth. Herpes is fatal to infants. How would you have reacted?
So 2wks and 3 days into my breastfeeding journey and it's been a roller coaster of emotions and experiences....but the good news is that she's latching better but even after she eats for 15-40mins she's still hungry so I give her a bottle and she's still hungry! 😔 what am I doing wrong?!

I wouldn't. She's going through something that requires more comfort not just milk. If you're nursing her on demand then everything is normal. It will pass.

Do you pump in between times that you nurse? I do to help make sure my Angel gets plenty of milk and it keeps my supply strong.

@kaytibug2009, I'll have to try that it's better today she hasn't been feeding so much and not so cranky like the past 2 days I'm hoping my body got the hint and started making more milk

@kambam, okay today she's better not so cranky like the past few days so I'm hoping this means I'm making more milk and it was just a growth spurt she did sleep for 7 hours the day before last so she's probably just growing it's just I didn't make enough milk for my first so I'm so paranoid this time around

@kambam, yea if it was up to me I would be holding her and nursing her all day but I have a 15 month old that needs me as well so that's not possible

@kambam, but usually when she's done feeding she doesn't bother staying in my boobs
