Infant feeding

11 day old non stop feeding!

We have literally been feeding non-stop since 6am this morning - that's 16 hours! (and still going...) I actually thought we were coming to a wind down period when it occurred to me to try a different position - put her on in the underarm hold - i've never seen a baby go for it so voraciously! I find it hard to believe there's anything left, but she's certainly still gulping down.

Am very glad she's finally decided to get stuck in as have been worrying about my supply - she's been going 5-6 hourly up until last night and been totally uninterested when i've tried to wake her sooner but if todays efforts don't kick start my supply nothing will!

I've a feeling it's going to be a loooong night...wish me luck (and energy!)
