My DS2 is 4 days old and I really wanted to EBF this time. With DS1 I BF but had to give formula top ups from a couple of days old until he was a few weeks old.
We've got this far with DS2 and I really thought it was going well until today. My milk came in on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I've been feeding him for hours on end tonight and he's never satisfied. I know cluster feeding is normal but this is something else. He's sucking and sucking but only swallowing every now and again. When he comes off he cries and sucks his fist like he's starving. I know I'm making milk because I can hand express some out. I'm obviously not making enough though.
Ive been in tears all evening. I just don't know what to do or who to talk to about it.
