I have an 11day old. Bf going well, however although I feel he is having a good feed, he doesn't take a full breast, I have offered him the other breast but he really isn't interested, and either just looks around or has fallen asleep.
I often feel engorged and uncomfortable and needing to pump. Is this the right thing to do? I am trying to avoid mastitis but in doing so stimulating milk production.
Ds1 was a comfort sucker and was always on me I felt I didn't produce enough for him, where as ds2 will quite happily feed every 2-3 1/2 hours, sometimes he needs waking up! Producing lots of wet and dirty nappies and only lost 10g from his birth weight, so I'm assuming he is getting enough food.
