Something wrong with my boobs?

Question

I'm BF my little one but she is attached to my boob every hour. I feel like she isn't getting enough breastmilk. If I pump 2 oz and feed it to her,  she's content and will be still enough giving me some to eat or shower. Anybody else going through this?

Answer

For the first four weeks my daughter nursed constantly...if she was awake she was nursing. The only breaks I got was when she slept. Now in her fifth week she is finally spreading out her feedings...still not every 2 hours but at least I get some breaks.

As long as your baby is latched well and is gaining weight i would say just go with flow. After about 6-8 weeks it's supposed to easier. We'll see! I EBF so most days I'm glued to the couch.

Answer

Thank you everyone! I think I'm just paranoid because I was unsuccessful trying to EBF my first born and I really want to atleast be able to pump enough for my newborn.

Answer

If she's gaining weight, don't worry.
It could be that she's comfort sucking, or growing and wants extra. Also, they feed faster with a bottle as its less effort for them.
If you are wondering about the comfort sucking; when she's drinking, watch her jaw. Little movements followed by a series of Long smoother and slower jaw movements mean she's drinking. Little, almost jerky jaw movements after about 7+ minutes means she's comfort sucking. It's not a bad thing, but if your boobs need a break, it's ok to stop when she does this and try her with a pacifier.
If you unlatch her and she immediately sucks her fists though, put her back on, as she is still hungry, or still wants boob.
If she's not comfort sucking, she may be going through a growth spurt and needs more milk! I was shocked when I measured my daughter the other day, and she's grown 6cm in 5 weeks!
