My ds2 is 6 weeks and likes to feed a lot but it feels like there is nothing left after a few minutes and he becomes really frustrated and starts crying. This used to just happen at cluster feed time ( evening when he often screams for ages) but its been like it all day today and he hasnt had a real feed. I tried to express for the first time today, epic fail as only got 10ml which he won't take from the bottle, and since then there's been nothing left.
Feeling very deflated today and want to give up and give ff but now worried he won't take a bottle either.
Is it really true that you never empty a breast as it really feels like this is happening in our case and getting distressed and not providing enough for him. Any advice?
Thank you x
