my baby is 20 weeks i have fully breast fed him since birth. But he does not seem to be happy with what hes getting. its said that breast milk does not run out. but if i squeeze my breast at start of a feed milk will come out, he will feed for a while then he becomes frustrated i check again and i cant get any milk out at all.i move him to my other breast but thats not enough either. during the day hes on the breast pretting much all day. then when it gets to early evening he will sleep for about 4 hours then he wakes and takes a really good feed where hes feeding really fast and gulping...then from about 2.30/3am he wakes about every 45-1hr until about 6.30 am.
if i could find away of pruducing more breast milk so baby is happy then i would..
i bought bottles and formula today and i felt like crying.
weight wise hes on 25th centile. which hv seems ok about and im not worried.
i just need sleep. i have other children so cant sleep when he does.
i have tried expessing but i cant.
