If I were to let my son comfort nurse, after feeding him, would that boost my supply?

For a 3 week old. 3.5 ounces is a lot in my view but you can do what you wish. Your newborn 3 week old drinks more than my 8 month old.
@bklosxo After 4 to 6 weeks. Newborn only need a few teaspoons to an ounce a feeding.
Wait, if he needs that per hour and he eats about every 3 hours, would the 3.5 ounces be spot on then?
Dont feel bad. I overfed my first 2 before I realized they didnt need all that milk. You live and learn
You would see a lactation consultant because breastfeeding is there speciality. You see a pediatrician for your baby problems, not milk. With formula you have to give more because they dont get the same nutrients from formula as they do breastmilk.
Even if he doesn't spit any of it up or anything? I've tried to give him less but he still acts fussy afterwards :/ It's odd that the pediatrician wouldn't have told me that!! I feel like a horrible mama now if I'm over feeding him 😞
pediatricians arent lactation consultants, they follow formula guidelines not breastmilk
that is too much which is why you think your supply is low. Babies cant comfort suckle from a bottle. Only breast or pacifier. My 8 month old drinks 3 ounces a feeding. A breastfed baby will not go over 5 ounces a feeding at a year old. they need 1 to 1.5 ounce per hour after 4 to 6 weeks
I have been! Thankfully he doesn't have any problem with nipple confusion either! And really??? When I give him a bottle of breastmilk he is up to 3.5 ounces at a feeding, his pediatrician said that was fine???
Breastmilk is different then formula for consumption. Make sure you are pace feeding!
Anything between 1 to 4 ounces is great. With breastmilk you only need an ounce to 1.5 ounces per feeding at his age
@beemommyof3 thanks Mama! He gets formula too, and breastmilk from a bottle (so that my boyfriend can feed him as well) I just haven't been able to pump as much as I would like, and I would like to give him exclusively breastmilk if I can start saving more!
@brownsugarluv that makes sense, I definitely feel like that may have been a stupid question now 😂
The more you put baby on the boob, the more milk you’ll produce.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
I would love to join! I'm clueless to all of this :(
