Hi there,
My baby was born 8 days ago and didn't have a problem latching on. Suction was strong and mighty sore in the first few days, however the last 3-4 days it's doesn't hurt very gentle latch, more of a tickle feeling, Is this normal?
2nd point, she is feeding 16 plus times in a 24h period, I can't seem to satisfy her, she will get over tired and fall asleep on the breast then wake up a few mins later distraught her little mouth shaking and is too distressed to feed, we have had to resort to top up feeds of formula Aprox 30ml extra a time when it gets too much so she is probably getting an extra 120ml formula per 24hrs. This will then settle her for a 2-3 hr sleep if lucky, otherwise it's feeding on the hour for an hour non stop.
Please can anyone offer me any help or advise on what to do? Anyone had a similar problem?
I really want to breast feed or dual but not sure how to proceed as I really can't cope like this
