Hi ladies,
I'm FTM and I have a 2 week old dd who for the last 2 days is refusing or struggling to feed from my R breast. She'll latch for 2-3 mins after a battle to get her latched in the first place. Then she either completely pulls away and refuses or falls asleep.
I'm getting 15-30 min feeds from the left breast and feeding regularly. But I'm concerned as she lost 10% of birth weight initially and whilst is gaining isn't back to birth weight yet so I'm concerned. I'm also concerned that her preference will cause either engorgement or lack of supply on the r side. Any advice?
Also she cluster feeds at night between 12 and 3 and am worried this will make those feeds even worse.
Help please!!
