Breastfeeding a late Preemie
I just need a vent... I'm so grateful this baby is able to latch as her older sister wasnt, but her tiny little mouth is killing me! She of course has a shallow latch which was working fine, but she isn't gaining weight *sigh*
So we went to the breastfeeding support group this past Monday and the LC helped me get her to have a deeper latch, and we did a weigh and feed. She is getting at least 2-3ounces a feed which even if she has higher than average calorie needs and my breastmilk is on the low end calorie wise should be enough for her to be gaining.
Well it's friday and I've been getting her to latch deeper, but she the pushes my nipple out as she nurses till it gets to a spot where it seems like it is more comfortable for her. She also went from not spitting up at all really to spitting up after almost every feed. I'm just at a loss of what to do. We have another weight check Monday and I'm stressed about her gaining weight or not... End venting
