How often?
How often do your babes eat?
I have a 12 week old who is mostly getting formula and I’m pumping here and there as I was planning on stopping breastfeeding Because my mental health has been really effected by our breastfeeding journey. It has been a struggle.
But now I’m second guessing and I don’t think I want to stop anymore just yet.
Some of the reason I was stressed out was because I felt like he wasn’t getting enough. He would eat and take forever to get full then want to eat again 1.5-2 hrs later. He’s been getting formula or expressed milk after his feedings since a few weeks after he was born bc he had a tongue tie and lip tie that caused him to not pull milk out effectively. Nursing hurt really bad also
He now has had a tongue tie & lip tie procedure done. I think maybe that has to do with how long he eats for. As he is still learning how to use his ‘new tongue’. Now his latch seems much better though and no more pain. Which is why I feel somewhat guilty that I was planning to stop breastfeeding him. I am still on the fence.
I just don’t know what to do.
How often does your little one eat? And any suggestions? (I know my supply has been effected by this so I would need to power pump to get it back up.)
Thank you
