Yes me again! I am finding bf such a challenge, and DH is losing heart I think .
Baby is 4 wks tomorrow and putting on weight slowly but steadily. His feeding is so erratic though, this week a couple of days feeding and crying all day, now he is sleeping soundly day and night and has to be woken for feeds. he is also sucking extremely vigorously and making my breasts ache. I can hear milk going in and him swallowing then after about 10-15 mins he squirms and nibbles until I remove him. I offer him the other one and he does the same...
Because he is working so hard for the milk I am so paranoid about supply that I am thinkng of expressing now. WIl this help increase supply so it is easier for him to feed?
