Breastfeeding support

Sam

Wanting other mommas support. My little guy (9 days old) is cluster feeding (I’m breast feeding). The little guys clusters are this vicious cycle of getting upset, eating for 30-40 minutes, needing a diaper and then not being able to settle because he has a lot of gas, and repeat within a hour, hour and a half’s time. And of course it’s at night.

I have a phone call with a lactation consultant today that I know to talk about incorporating pumping into my routine because my mental state with exclusive breastfeeding is starting to not be well. If my SO could bottle feed him some milk during the clusters, I think it’d be a lot better and maybe help with some of that gas/tummy upset.
