Spending less time on the breast
Show your support
my lo is 9 weeks today and he is never on the breast more than 10 minutes he used to spend 20-30 minutes but not anymore. if he ever takes more than 10 minutes it’s usually comfort nursing only
@KayLee Yes! It takes no time at all for her to fall asleep again at night while nursing. She will sleep anywhere between 5-8 hours at night so I always get up for one pump if not 2 because I’m so full and I’m pumping between 12-14 oz.
@Raydeli Yeah maybe she’s just not comforting herself as much as she used to? It definitely was not 20-30 minutes of active feeding and she was for sure pacifying so maybe it’s less of that. I always worry because I lost my supply with my son and I don’t want that to happen because she isn’t stimulating as much.
@Kelsey totally understandable! this is my first so i’m also scared of losing my supply im just trying to trust my body
11 weeks and she doesn’t nurse for more than ten minutes Now
Per my lactation consultant: Supply typically regulates between six weeks and eight weeks postpartum. At this point, milk production solely relies on demand / effective feeding by your baby and/or your pump to keep milk flowing. Sometimes mom‘s will report that letdown is delayed and less readily available. Most babies adjusted just fine, some babies however, especially those who have been offered bottles, may become less patient. If this is the case, make sure that bottlefeeding is slow, and mimicking a delayed letdown upon offering the milk.
My guy is 8 weeks and getting much more efficient and with that increased spit up but happy. I would with the flow and not worry if possible!
Almost 7week old March baby here🙋♀️ I’ve noticed this during his nighttime feeds. During the day I think he stays latched for comfort sake for 20-35 minutes but at night it’s like 15 max and he’s ktfo again. And this is after a 3/4hr stretch of sleep. I’ve been wondering if I need to wake him up to latch again cuz I’m superrrr full at night
