My son is ebf since birth. I had him weighed this week at 16 weeks and he now weighs less than he did at 12 weeks, by 5 ounces. He started sleeping through the night (7pm till 7am) from about 12 weeks and the HV says it is probably just down to this, and to try and feed him more during the day. I'm now a little worried that his wonderful sleeping is reducing my milk supply. I wake up pretty full and leaking in the morning, and there always seems to be milk there, but he does fuss more in the afternoon evening. I've started to switch feed, by offering both breasts at each feed in an attempt to increase supply. Surely if he was hungry he would wake in the night? Has anyone else been through this? What did you do?
