Hi all. I had my ds 16/10 (emcs) he was 10lb 1oz at birth 21.5 inches long. He is a good feeder ( I do have cracked nips though (ouch)
We are keeping note of when he is feeding - I am offering each breast at each feed as well.
7am - feed for about 20 mins
10:20 - feed for about 20 minutes
11:30 - feed for about 35 minutes
when my DD (8lb 4 - but she's a shorty) was born (bf for 19 months I had cracked nips too) but she would feed for about 30 mins each time so I'm not sure what is normal and what is excessive/too little.
Because of his weight/size I just cant help but feel that im struggling to hold him "properly" because of his weight/length - I have a bf pillow. Did anyone with babies on the larger side have problems?? (I was I hospital until yesterday - he had 3 bm/bns (???) to check his blood sugars and they were all fine...
