I feel bad for giving my son formula, I’ve been constant with breastfeeding but now he’s getting more hungry and I’m not producing enough milk for him and he’s constantly fussing even while he’s feeding 😭

Fussing while nursing is normal during al these growth spurts and mental leaps he’s going through. Cluster feeding (nursing literally 24/7) is normal too. As long as he has enough wet diapers then he is getting enough.
I can relate to this.
Don’t give him formula until your doctor says so.
You ARE producing just enough for him. Keep up with your water and fiber intake.
I can almost guarantee he is fussing for some other reason like gas or constipation or reacting to what you’ve eaten.
Don’t over think it. Talk to your pediatrician and formula is the last resort. He’s too young and this is prime for producing milk.
Pump or feed more often and you’ll produce more.
Also, if he’s gaining weight and the doc says he’s fine you are doing perfectly fine. 💕 we just gotta figure out what our babies are trying to communicate with us.
I spent a whole day trying to figure out why my girl was so fussy and upset, it was her pants that were too tight.
Seriously, it really is that simple sometimes. 💕
@squishybaby, thank you it’s so hard then with my parents asking what’s wrong on top of it like ugh
@babybump01, same! My mom used to run in every time my baby was fussing. That added stress is not helpful. You deserve space to figure it out and then ask for help if you need it. They’ll get it. Everyone’s still just excited about the newest member. 💕
It’s probably a growth spurt. The common ones are 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Constant feeding and fussing does not mean you’re not producing enough. Just keep nursing, every time he wants even if it’s every 30 mins. He is telling your body to make more milk. Stop the formula if you want a successful nursing relationship. Trust me you are doing more harm than good. We’ve all been thru this and yes it’s hard but don’t give up! Literally your only job right now is to nurse your baby!
