Breastfeeding

need help

My lo is a snacker. He will only drink whats there and won't wait for the next letdown. I try to keep putting him back, but he just ends up getting frustrated. So he eats every 40 minutes or so for 5 minutes. Its making life difficult. Any suggestions?

Re: need help

  • Have you tried switching sides when he gets frustrated? You can also massage the breast he's nursing on, to help the flow of milk.

    I would just continue to feed on demand and follow his cues. He'll space out his feedings over time.

    I'm assuming your LO is pretty young. I'm on the mobile site, so I can't see if you have a ticker in your siggy.
