I'm hoping for Tiktok or someone's wisdom.
This mum is a peripheral friend - friend of a friend. She's breastfeeding her baby and I'm very worried. I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm being daft, and no concern.
Everytime i see her the baby is feeding constantly. Now i had 2 tongue tie babies who cluster fed like champions, but the baby is now 15 weeks, and during the 3 hours i spent with her one morning last week i think i only saw her swap sides, never actually stop feeding.
The baby is long yes, but looks soooo thin (to my eyes). Pinched at the nose and temples, and the skin looks sort of loose. But mum says she's gaining weight - i can see she's growing as she's definitely getting longer, but..... I've also seen photo s where she's smiley and happy. If a baby was not getting enough milk, she wouldn't be happy would she? I know mine just screamed when they struggled to feed (before i learned exaggerated latch technique).
