My DC2 is 3 weeks and BF is going relatively well (happy baby, gaining weight) but I am confused about conflicting advice:
1 breast or both each feed?
how long for (Hv says 20mins then switch, others say feed til drops off and then think about boob#2 if looks keen)?
should i try to get some form of a gap between feeds?
the first x weeks are crutial - muck it up as the long term supply will be inadequate?
express to build up a bit of insurance for growth spurts or not?
MW suggested fenugreek but for how long and why if wt gain good?
I am concerned that it may all go wonky one day as BF DC#1 was a challenge (to put it mildly) and I am really keen that our good start translates into a positive experience going forwards. Have tried to clarify the above on various websites without much luck.
Thanks in advance.
