Supply!!!

I just gave birth 3/11/25 and my son eats every two hours and he eats about 3 ounces we think. He’ll eat from me on both sides then sometimes a bottle afterwards because I think he sucks me dry. Is there any tips or tricks that aren’t the common or bad food ones😅

Leave the bottles and let baby suckle as often as they want. Let baby build your supply.

@Kirsten this!!

He is probably cluster feeding which is meant to help your supply.

He is bringing your milk supply in. Latch him as often as he needs as it will take 6-8 weeks for your milk to be fully in and stabilize to what your baby needs. If you keep giving a bottle after then your body will think it’s produced enough milk for their needs. I gave birth on the 20th and I feed on demand. It went from 1-2 hours to now 3-4 hours. I use a pacifier as well to help give my breasts a break.
