she had a very sleepy day yesterday, sleeping for 5 hours, then 6 hours, but had a normal pattern last night and of 3-3.5 hours between feeds.
she fed at 4 and since the has only slept for about an hour and just wants to constantly feed and is getting quite agitated when i try to latch her on, but i think that's cos it's taking a bit of time for letdown and she's expecting instant gratification like she gets when my breasts are full.
i have noticed her latch is quite shallow, and she can cluck a bit at let-down but i'm not in any pain and she seems to be getting plenty (she had exceeded her birth weight by 3oz on day 13)
she has started pulling back through the course of the feed, but it gets quite tingly so i've been taking her off. sometimes she goes back on and other times she doesn't.
she generally has about 20 mins on each side, but sometimes only wants one side
not sure whether to keep feeding her or not as she seems to be getting very windy.
