Hello all. 3 month old ds is almost exclusively bottle fed as I have not got enough milk due to seperation at birth and him being in special care for several days. I have been expressing since day 1 but have only ever managed 40ml per session both breasts so tiny amounts. Anyway have now been putting ds to the breast and he latches on really well and has a good suck but after about a minute starts crying and stops. I was thinking that might be because I haven't got very much milk or maybe it is not flowing fast enough?when he starts crying I give up and give him bottle and he feeds with no problem. Wwyd? Would love to be able to stop pumping and just bf supplemented with formula.
