My daughter will be 6 weeks and I had alot of difficulty BFing b/c she was tongue tied. I had her snipped at 3 weeks and BFing has improved. The problem is that every time I feed her and put her down for a nap she either wakes up right away or will wake up after 10-15mins.
Are such short naps normal??
Im wondering if shes not getting enough milk and wakes up b/c shes hungry. When Im feeding her she falls asleep and sometimes she will not wake up to feed on the other breast. So I put her down thinking shes knocked out but not really!!
She also will stop the feeding on her own. She also sometimes does and alot of twisting and turning of her body and mouth which hurts but interrupts her feeding. Last week I went for a follow up apt with the Lactation Consultant but she was wide awake and fed so great! I was surprised and happy but she hasnt done that again... At the LC's apt she weighed her before and after the feeding and she drank 3 ounces from one breast! So I do have some milk production.
I dont know what the problem is. Any help is appreciated!
