From formula to breastfeeding
Can anyone help/ share some insight please!
Since I have had my baby 4 weeks ago I have been expressing breast milk and formula feeding. I always wanted to breastfeed however struggled with latching, I had a class on breastfeeding and found it really useful for the latch and can now get baby on easier however, after offering breast no matter how long baby is on for baby is always super fussy after. I have offered a bottle top up too but still fussy and won’t settle.
How do you know your baby has had enough?!

Letting the baby come off the boob on their own when they're done makes sure they've had enough
I let her come off on her own, sometimes it’s 5 mins sometimes it’s 30! If she seems sleepy/content/milk drunk I know she’s had enough. If she comes off and seems unsettled/looking for boob or sucking on hands then I know she either needs to go back on or needs a top up x

I EBF and the only way I know baby has enough milk is that he has lots of wet and dirty nappies x
