Baby is now 4 days old, i have been breastfeeding him and it seems to have been going well now we have established the latching part. Last night he fed almost every hour and has fed alot today inbetween sleeps. My breasts have suddenly become fuller today although not leaky just a bit tingly so guessing my milk has come in. This is baby 4 and the longest i have breast fed as nomally struggle after a day or so (gets sore) but i really really want to give this a go.
Had him weighed this morning and disappointed to discover he has lost 10% of his birth weight :( MW wants to weigh him again tomorrow and says we may have to top him up with formula if his weight is down again tomorrow. I am hoping all these extra feeds today and my milk coming in will make a difference for tomorrow.
Anyone else had similar and how long did it take before exclusively BF again?
just looking for some reassurance really
