Hi,
My baby is 6 days old and she just won't drink from my breast for more than 10 mins the night before last she was latching on every 1 1/2 hours through the night for just 5 mins. The midwife came the next day and said I was feeding her too much and to just space them out more and she would soon drink for longer. So last night she was 3/4 hours in between feeds but is still only latching on for 10 mins and then nothing I do can induce her to take more. I've tried changing her nappy in between and putting her back on, I've tried keeping her cold so she doesn't drop off to sleep, I burp her and then put her back on but she refuses to drink any more...will my milk dry up at this rate and will she start to lose too much weight?? Please could someone give me some advice as I am so down about it. Apparently their is nothing wrong with my latch as the midwife said it was fine.
