My son is nearly 3 weeks old, gaining weight (born 8lb 9oz now 10lb)and thriving. Feeling quietly very proud of myself!! Really happy with BF so far but have a few questions I hope you can help me with.
He is cluster feeding (is that the right term?) in the evenings. How long will that last for roughly?
Sometimes very windy,(the baby, not me!) are there any obvious foods to avoid?
I have low iron levels, will my milk be affected? Taking iron supplements when I remember but not always daily.
Also, why do people seem to think that because I am only little (5ft 3 and a size 8) I wont be able to BF for long? BF my first son for a month then stopped due to mastitis but I really want to go for longer this time, especially as it makes night feeds so much easier! am I right in thinking that my size/weight will have no bearing on the quality/quantity of milk.
Thanks for any replies!
