Feeding newborn

My newborn (10 days old) only feeds average of 3.5 to 4 hours. This makes the number of feeds to an average of only 6. Does this cause my milk supply to be low because of the longer intervals or will her growth be affected because of the lesser number of feeds in 24 hours? (Not 8-12feeds as recommended)

You can pump/hand express after latching (10mins-15mins is good enough), that way you won’t have to drag session, which also will help signal your body that baby needs more milk. I doubt it will affect her growth but you can try to shorten her feeds intervals by dream feeding.

Feeding related

My newborn feeds at an average of every 4 hours but the duration varies a lot from 10mins to even up to 1 hour. Is this a cause for concern? How do I know if my milk supply is not sufficient for her?

If she falls asleep at the boob, that is comfort latching and she is not taking in any milk (basically a human pacifier). Anything above 15~20 mins would probably be comfort latching already. You cannot tell the amount via latching, the only way you can tell is bottle feeding.

to induce or not to induce?

hi all! ftm here. edd is 28/7. turning 39wks this fri, which coincidentally falls on my next checkup appt too. currently only 1cm dilated, with no signs of labour at all too. baby & i are all healthy, thankfully, and baby is weighing at estimated 2.9kg currently. i’ve been doing squats, walking more than 10k steps daily & bouncing on yoga ball too. even taking dates & drinking raspberry leaf tea. on last checkup, gynae gave us an option to be induced by the next appt, citing reasons as to avoid baby from getting too big. as she noticed a rapid upwards pattern on baby’s weight gain within third trimester itself. been going back and forth regarding this. as much as i’d like to naturally go into labour on my own.. i can’t stand the backache, reflux, morning sickness & all the discomfort. would love to get this baby out of me too :( need some advice please. any kind of help will do. thank you in advance!

hi dear have you given birth yet? if not try asking for membrane sweep.

Breastmilk PP 2 weeks

What is the usual volume PP 2 weeks if I'm pumping exclusively (have flat nipples and baby has difficulties latching)? I'm currently pumping 60-70ml every 3h for 2 boobs.

It does not works the same for everyone. At 2 weeks PP I’m only pumping 35-50ML for both boobs (3hourly). My supply only increased after 1.5m 😊.
