hi i have been breast feeding my 15 week old since birth.but he always seems he is always on the breast. hes feeding every 90 mins to 2 hours. i know breast milk does not run out as such but i do feel empty most of the time. once it gets to 7-8pm he will settle then wake between 11pm-12am he then seems to take a good feed where hes taking it fast and gulping. he does not seem to gulp during the day. then he wakes about every 90 mins from then on for a feed. yesterday i gave him a bit of baby rice and he seemed more content for a while. although i dont really want to be doing that till hes 6 months. i defo do not want to put him of formula. I have tried expressing with an electric pump but i dont even get an once of milk. i was hoping if i pumped a small amount of breast milk i might pruduce more milk. any suggestions?
i have not had him weighed for a while but his weight seems ok.i will get him weighed in next couple of days.
