Getting very disheartened

My DS is now 2 weeks old and still feeding constantly in the evenings. Ive taken to giving him a formula feed as I just feel like by continuing to BF I'm just slowly starving him.

I would like to be able to give him an expressed bottle of BM in the evening instead but I can only get out around 30ml each time (10 or so minutes between the regular feeds)

Is that a normal amount or is my milk supply low - which would also explain the 6pm - 2am non stop feeding?

ps, My mum says hes just crafty and wants a cuddle, not milk, but I dont think its that Sad

Mammie, your brother probably did cluster feed and your Mum has jsut probably forgotten all about it.

Hope last night was better for you.

Keep feeding and keep posting.

Some babies don't clusterfeed - every baby is different.

Sorry Moon, hadn't realised that. In my vast survey of 2 DC they both did it Xmas Smile

In that case then Mammie your Mum was just luckly. Stick with it, keep feeding, you know you're doing the right thing.
