I've got a 5wk old little boy and I've always expressed as he refused to latch but still offered him breast before every bottle but finally teo days ago he finally latched yay. So been BF during the day and expressing of a night.
I'm just worried that he's not getting enough, he jas around 5 dirty nappies in 24hrs and around 5 full wet ones, he feeds every two hours but will sometimea go four (I jave to wake him) he latches around 5 times in 24hrs and feeds from each breast around 10-15 mins. He falls asleep at the breast but will also fall asleep on his own without feeding roxking etc... I'm worries he's sleeping due to lack of energy from not getting enough food.
Basically my question os would he fall asleep if he was genuinely hungry?
Thank you.
