I am first time nursing my second son. I tried latch on for the 1st 4 week and he got the jaundice and was unable to continue as doctor told me to change to formula. I tried both formula and bottle breastmilk after his jaundice had cleared. Now, he is 2 months old and i still breastfeed him and bottle feed - either breastmilk or formula. I take peptomet 10mg and fernugreen. It took me a weeks to increase my milk supply. But it seems to go downfall again .... It there a frequncy wave for milk supply??? I am now totally dry up on my both breast . Anyone having the same problem? With the empty breast, I still nurse my son, he was so frustrated with my breast and he pulled away a few time. I try change side, little improvement and than he fall asleep. Can any one tell me if you have such experience of some time full of milk and some time no milk at all? Will the milk comes again..
Today, I had my son 120ml of breastmilk in bottle feeding and he had wet diaper, after lunch time , I latch him on and feed him for 10min and he fall asleep, i try to wake him up, he refused. I nurse him next 2 hrs, it is another 10 mins and he fall asleep. so Far, he is being nurse for 3 times with 2 hrs interval. and he got 3 wet diaper. Is this normal? had he got enough milk?He had his last feeding at night 8pm and he will fall asleep till he ask for next feeding during the night. Any lactation consultant can tell me why?
