I am having the hardest time satisfing Logan. He does great at bfing but never seems to be satisifed. I feel like I am constantly feeding him where Dylan will go 2-3 hours without needing to eat again. Have any of you ever formula fed one baby and breastfed the other?

    Sometimes one baby just wants to nurse more. It could be that he has a weak suck. It could be that he wants to nurse for comfort. It could just be that he's a boob man, lol.

    If he is having sufficient wet/poopy diapers, I'd hang in there for a bit. He could be going through a growth spurt and just needs a bit more than his bro.

    That's funny, because my Logan is the same way! I was just thinking about giving him BM from a bottle plus formula and bf'ing Nick. Logan is just never satisfied!

    Do you switch breasts? ?So they're equally stimulated? ?Personally I'd hang in there; you're milk is barely in and you need both babes to tell your body to make TONS and TONS and TONS of milk!

    Keep going! It will get easier. Right now he is telling your body how much milk to make. If he is still hungry, keep nursing him. Eventually, when your supply is well established, he will go much longer between feedings. You can do it! :-)
