Breastfeeding
My baby is 5 days old and he took to the breast really well 3 days ago, he struggled at first. However now my milks come in, yesterday he managed absolute fine and was on the breast every 2 hours for half an hour however today he’s struggling. He will latch on but not suck? And he’s taking a while to latch on he just seems uninterested. I’ve ended up giving him a bottle and just expressing however it’s bothering me that he’s not even telling me he wants a feed. He’s slept the majority of the day which he hasn’t done before however he hasn’t slept much at all since coming out. Is this normal? X
