9 day old // super short feeds
Currently exclusively breastfed from birth until now.
My 9 day old nurses for 7-15 minutes before falling asleep. She doesn’t nurse long enough to switch breasts. I try everything under the sun to keep her awake during feeds.
Plenty of wet/dirty diapers.
I am currently still waking her every 2-3 hours to feed since she was not back to her birth weight at her appointment this past Monday.
I’m going to ask her pediatrician about it on Tuesday, but I was looking for personal experiences from moms on here in the meantime. Are the short feeds cause for concern? Is she sleepy because she is getting what she needs food-wise?
I am so scared for my supply to drop and not be able to support her eating needs later on down the road.
