I have had A LOT of issues getting DD established on breastfeeding. Finally this week we went 3 days without top ups and only about 2oz a day when we have needed. She has also started sleeping for 6-7 hours a night. She is content and happy, with enough wet nappies. Due to BF issues we weigh her weekly. This week she lost 3oz, which is a shame. Saying that she grew 3cm in the last 3 weeks, She hasn't been feeding as long and at times gone 4 hours during the day. Has this happened to anyone else? I am not keen to supplement more if she is contented and has enough wet and dirty nappies. I was thinking I should just make sure she feeds more frequently in the day?
