So question, i only pump at night cause my husband would like to wake up with him to but when i pump i only get about an ounce. Is that normal for him only being 5days ? He's on the boob during the day. Also he nurses for about 15-20minutes why does he still not seem full? I read about cluster feeding could that be what he's doing ?

1oz is totally average. He's comfort nursing and probably cluster feeding as well. All they want is mama.

@kambam, how long does it usually last? I feel like he's never full lol.

You'll know he's eating enough by his diaper count. Is he making plenty of wet diapers? They are little leeches until about 6w and then they will be less needy.

Sounds like you're doing perfect then. I always suggest not pumping. I know dad wants to be involved but there's other ways. I've been cosleeping since day 1 as well... pretty much how all breastfeeding moms get sleep. Put on boob, pass out, repeat.

Pumping was the only way I actually could tell if my son was getting enough milk but he also wouldn’t latch on much to nurse long. His tummy is so little still so he should be fine. The more you pump your milk will increase. It’s recommend that you pump every 3hrs or so to keep it flowing

Yes. Very normal. you only need 1 oz a feeding

They nurse around the clock because they are growing around the clock. Before he was delivered a week ago he ate when he wanted. That is how it should go while out of the womb especially when breastfeeding. You dont want to pump to much right now. it can cause clogged ducts
