she's been on for about 3 hours now dropping off for snoozes and then back on for sucks, sometimes good latch sometimes not. is this normal for day 2 or is she not getting enough?

thanks!

Very normal Smile Ds still has days like this now at 12 weeks (although not all the time - had his jabs yesterday and has wanted lots of cuddles and sleepy feeds during day)
Have you got someone to bring you drinks,snacks etc?
I was convened about latch in the early days so went to a breast feeding group a couple of times which I found quite useful.

Also,whenever the latch is poor you should take her off and get her to try again. I wasn't consistent with this (didn't want to disturb ds) and paid for it with sore nipples. it gets much better if you persevere. Lanisoh is great in the early days for your nips btw Grin
