I’m broken between breastfeeding and formula. My baby been crying non stop, sucking her fingers like she’s hungry but been on my breast like every hour for at least 20 to 30 minutes or wen ever she moves away plus it took 3 weeks to get her birth weight up. Don’t think she’s getting enough.
I feel like my baby gave in and went to sleep hungry. The worst feeling ever.
Yes, see a lactation specialist! They will help you so much! They weighed baby before feeding, nursed on 1 side, weighed baby again so they know exactly how many ounces they got. Repeat for the other side! Good luck!! 💜
@iwannaplay, thanks. She does make enough wet days diapers. I’m gona go see a Specialist today
@gingiej1207, Thanks, this just brought tears n my eyes because I really want to breastfeed and I talked to the lady she said I have a good supply but I’m starting to think it not enough nutrients and fat to keep her full and add weight and I don’t wanna starve my child. I watch a video about a woman who had that going on etc..
Baby’s cluster feed at this age they grow and develop in way you don’t even see so fast and with trying to establish your milk supply this is perfectly normal. If baby is having the proper number of diapers and is gaining things are working.
It's called cluster feeding. They do that when they're newborns to help establish your milk supply. As long as she's having 5-6 wet diapers in 24 hours then she's getting enough. 😊 Breastfeeding is hard work but it's worth it!
Don't ever let anybody make you feel like you're any less your decision is your decision whatever you decide you got to remember your sanity to and her get getting full is all that matters in the end it's your choice nobody else is it's a struggle breastfeeding it's hard work not only that some women just can't do it as easy as others and there's nothing wrong with accepting that
Keep nursing and if she keeps acting hungry give her some formula...dont give up
Fed is best maby try formula to get her full or pump and feed so you know how much she's getting I strictly formula fed for babys sake and mine
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️

My baby has been head down since I was 19 weeks every sono confirms that !! But for some reason I never feel her kicks in my upper stomach there’s always so low in my pelvic area !! the only thing I feel in my upper stomach is when she’s stretching or rolling around cause it feels like waves . She must keep her legs bent up by her arms a lot !! People be like my baby be in my rib cage and I never feel that i feel like she’s trying to kick through the bottom of my stomach lol .
