I know this has probably been asked a million times before but....
DD (7.5 wks) seems to be feeding constantly recently but keeps draining my breasts and I sometimes have to swap 2 or 3 times per feed (she sometimes feeds for up to an hour). She's also feeding very frequently (sometimes every hour) which means she's almost permanently attached. I have read various other threads that say this is normal for her age so I'm not too concerned at how often she's feeding and for how long, however, I am concerned that my milk production doesn't seem to be increasing in line with her needs.
Is there anything I can do to up my prouction??
I've tried expressing to find out how much she's getting per feed and it seems to be about 2.5 - 3oz max.
My mum said she used to donate 1 pint of ebm per day to the premie unit AND feed my sister (!!).
There must be something I can do - any suggestions would be great!
Thanks in advance
