Breastfeeding

Milk Supply

Hi ladies! A FTM here to a little boy who is 1w2d today. I've been stressed over nursing and making sure I'm doing it right. We had a natural birth and I joked with my husband that it was the easy part.

Any way... I think bf had been going fairly well except the last two days both breasts are back to normal feeling (soft and not full feeling). LO also has decided to play around a ton before latching. Could this mean I'm having supply issues or would my breasts possibly already adjusted?

My hospital has a lactation group on Wednesday that I plan to go to but thought I would get done advice before then.

Thanks!

Re: Milk Supply

  • Do a weighed feeding either at the pedi's or with a LC.  I also had doubts and thought I wasn't making enough milk for LO.  My breasts never feel full.  They always feel super soft but I did a weighed feeding with a LC and LO took in 2.7 oz.  And at his last weight check at the pedi he had surpassed his birth weight at 10 days old.
