i am getting frustrated. i have been EBF my 7 week old son. on sunday night we went out so i brought some EBM to feed him. last night when i tried to feed him he acted like he wasn't getting anything. i kept switching sides but i never had a let down so i gave in and had my husband feed him some EBM while i pumped to continue to stimulate. it is happening again at about the same time. could something be wrong?

I feel your frustration!
It is normal to have a lower supply at night. Try not to get frustrated. Try deep breathing and relaxation and calming the baby, maybe a bath then back to breast. Babe may be going through growth spurt too and may be wanting more milk which will come the more you nurse and relax. It is normal. It will get better. If you need to give EMB ok but be sure to pump to maintatin supply.
Try to be patient at breast first.
