My little one arrived on Monday since then I've been purely breast feeding. He latches on great but I'm not convinced his taking the feed but more going through the motions. He only had one wet nappy today.
So I called the local bf support we agreed I'd try a bit of formula. Which I did. He then settled briefly but now is wildly sucking whenever I put him down indicating he wants more food. Oh he's falling asleep at breast too which I try to prevent by stripping off and tickling feet etc so it's hard work getting him to take these feeds but he clearly needs them! Sine the formula my milk has come in - maybe because I relaxed?? So I'm hopeful the feeds he's getting tonight are good meals just hoping I can get him to the hind milk.
Any thoughts/ similar experiences. Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
