1 day old been feeding for 12 hours HELP

[Thighbrow]

DD is 26 hours old :) normal vaginal birth and we're both healthy. She had a feed straight after birth and then again a few hours later then not for about 5 hours. Anyway she started feeding about 6pm yesterday and she's been on boobs constantly since. I am SO sore. Think my latch is good and the soreness is down to overuse. My milk hasn't come in yet! Is this normal considering I'm only producing colustrum? She's had 2 meconium nappies and 3 wet nappies so I know she's getting food. I'm just exhausted and obviously haven't slept. It would be wrong to give formula wouldn't it? I'm wondering if the constant feeding is to relieve wind pain - or something else??

Good.
Is the mw coming to see you today? I think it's a good idea to ask her to check her latch x

Congratulations on your new DD!

My second DC did this too non-stop feeding too. Glued to me just guzzling. I was much less aware of my milk coming in than with my first (when I woke up with the Pamela Anderson knockers referred to earlier in thread).

My DC got weighed a week+ after the birth. I said to health visitor 'I'm sure the baby has put weight on already'. She looked a bit disconcerted and reminded me babies lose weight initially, not to be concerned about this, very unusual to be gaining weight at this point etc. Weighed the seal pup and the seal pup had put on 8oz in first week. HV was very, very surprised.

I'm wondering if your DD is doing summat similar?!
