Am trying to breastfeed my newborn daughter, who is 3 days old. Have been told she is latching well by midwife however, I'm unconvinced she is getting enough milk as she can be fussy after feeds, takes a while to settle and doesn't have lots of wet nappies (although there's been plenty of poo's).
Just wondered, when my milk is due to come in? I have not felt any fullness yet and if I try to stimulate my nipples I can't see any evidence of any milk being produced.
I really struggled to breastfeed my older daughter, my milk supply was limited and she ended up losing more than 10% of her birth weight. I'm worried history might be repeating itself and feel stressed at the prospect of not being able to breastfeed again (prob being made worse by feeling tired etc).
Any advice would be gratefully received
