Breastfeeding

Going back to breastfeeding help

I struggled to breast feed initially. Low supply and a cows milk intolerance meant it was stressful for me and the little one wasn’t eating enough. We went to formula but I’ve worked hard to get my supply up and change my diet. My baby is now 10 weeks and I’m breastfeeding again. She’s latching and feeding well but I’m struggling to adjust. With formula, I know exactly how much she’s had and when she’ll sleep and how long for. With breastfeeding, it’s a learning curve all over and I’ve been caught out with her waking up v.hungry going from 0 to 100 crying within seconds. It’s still hard for me to get her to latch when she’s distressed. My question is - for breastfeeding mums with babies ~10 weeks, how long do your babies feed for and how long can you go in between feeds on average (I know it’ll vary a-lot, just looking for a rough guide)? Any other advice welcome. 🙏

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding/pumping/formula feeding

I’m 8 weeks pp with twin boys up until last week I’ve been formula feeding, pumping and breastfeeding when time doesn’t overlap with everything else both twins. One twin has been spitting up and sometimes full on vomit for about 2 weeks thinking it’s the formula, when I bottle feed I do stop midway to burp and of course burp at the end and keep them up right for 10 mins well the Dr suggest to continue with just breastmilk (which I already don’t pump enough as is for both to have a good amt everyday) so whatever I pump I’m giving to the twin that has been spitting up and breastfeeding him and I will give him about 1-2 oz of formula after breastfeeding if he seems extra fussing or seems hungry and he will do fine and now so have to keep him upright for 30 mins, that’s about an hour of feeding one baby. I feel so guilty for my other baby that I’m not able to give me more breastmilk nor do I breastfeed as much as before. Between my nipples being sore and being exhausted I wish my husband was a little more understanding and comforting and give me a helping hand at least on the weekends during the night feedings. And of course I’ve expressed these things but it goes over his head. Literally my day is spent feeding and pumping and I’m exhausted. I took a shower today it’s been a couple days and all I smelled was milk, we had about an hour before the next feeding I told my husband I’m getting in the shower usually he says okay take your time today he said just hurry up so I can cook. I didn’t do all I wanted to do but at least I’m clean I guess. I just needed to get that out.

Cluster feeding

Hey everyone! I’m a FTM giving exclusive breastfeeding a good go. We have just had night 3 and my milk is coming in properly now. Is it normal for baby to cluster feed at this point? She’s basically been feeding for the last 2-3 hours straight with really short naps between. What are other people’s experiences with cluster feeding at night in the early days? Thanks

Stuck in boob 😭

Please help, my 7 month old will not sleep at night unless he is latched. He delatches and immediately relatches or if I move away before he relatches, he cries until he’s latched again. He will lot take a pacifier for me. Idk what to do. I’m at the point where I want to stop breastfeeding mainly because of it but I don’t know how to wean him. He doesn’t like to take a bottle from me either. 😭😭 (I am a single mother doing it alone, first time mom)
