@bebe-, I have no choice but to top him off with formula, with my having gestational diabetes when I was pregnant it’s now effecting his weight gain.
He does get quite gassy after a bottle of it
@crharmer, he constantly falls asleep on the boob so he’s only sucking for 20 minutes or so
I know how tought it can be. My son nursed from 11pm-5am the first two weeks. My advice is:ignore the house an do only what is needed. Drink lots and lots of water and make sure you are snacking constantly. And just offer the breast as often as needed. It is rough right now but you are doing amazing.
Sorry to hear. It's probably cluster feeding (where the want to constantly be on the boob) to signal your body to make more milk, or even just for comfort for them. Hope you can catch up on some sleep soon!
@bebe-, I’m fine using formula as a top up it doesn’t bother him too bad, I’ve used gripe water to sooth his belly a few times and it works just fine, but thanks for the suggestions 😊
