Hii ladies is it normal for my 5day old baby i feed him & he just don't get full & have to be feeding him until he is full? Is it that i'm not producing enough milk or is okay to feed him as much as he wants.
Thank you so much🙂 he is cluster feeding bc my milk supply have not show yet :( & he even burps & wants to be eating still.
Totally normal! Their bellies are so small at that age so it fills quick!
Mine cluster fed really bad right around then but it definitely gets better once you both really get the hang of it 🤗
Today he will be 6days old & i pump about 4oz from both breasts & the milk is like pearl color. I think my milk supply have not show yet is it normal to take that long to come in i already have 2 other children & with them my supply came in pretty fast
Also kellymom.com is a great site that can answer just about any question you have regarding nursing. I went there several times and just read about all the different things from alcohol consumption to what a nursing baby’s poop looks like. Lol
They eat very frequently at this age. it is completely normal. As long as he is producing enough dirty diapers and gaining weight then you know he is eating. You can also watch and listen for swallowing you can tell when they are gulping milk down. Don’t get discouraged the first month really you will spend a good 85% of your time nursing your baby but it gets easier overtime and as he gets bigger he will become more efficient and be able to drink more at one time and stay full longer.
It’s totally fine that he’s latched a lot at this point. He’s helping trigger your body to bring in more milk this way. Like other ladies have said, feed him as much and as often as he wants. It’s impossible to overfeed a baby that is nursing directly from the breast. ☺️
