Sleep time

cdchic02

I am currently breastfeeding my LO every 2-3 hours, but about an hour after I lay her down to sleep, she is waking up hungry.  Am I not doing something right, maybe not producing enough for her to eat.  All she wants to do is eat. How do I know if I am producing enough ?

 Thanks,

She may be going through a growth spurt, just keep feeding her and you will produce more than enough.

Do you have a pump?  I would pump after every feeding to up your supply...rest and drink lots of water and just enjoy being with her.  GL!

It depends upon how old your LO is.  If she's around 6 weeks or less, every 2-3 is perfect!  A good resource for how much/often your LO should be eating is www.kellymom.com  Also, the best guide as to whether your LO is getting enough to eat is how many wet/dirty diapers she is having per day.  IHTH!!
