but she ahs started sleeping 9pm-6am....what do i do? i need to get her on 8-10 times a da and im only managing 4 or 5...for around5-10mins each time...its been a week and a half and still no change in amount of milk i have got (or haven't got)

saying that though does going from nipple dribblng milk out when i squeeze it to shooting across the room mean there is slightly more? I have tried expressing and get a few drops out but i know this doesnt indicate milk amount.

breasts still feel pretty empty!

yeah but she feeds for those 5-10 mins and then starts screaming and thrashing around...hubby will give her a bottle and she will down 4 ounces! so from my opinion she still isnt getting enough if she will down 4oz after a 5-10min breastfeed (btw hv suggested giving her bottle after bf until milk is back properly!)
