I feel like I'm breastfeeding constantly! I'll lay him down he will cry cuz he's hungry he hasn't slept since 9 this morning he will fall asleep when breastfeeding then I'll put him down nd will cry again same routine! Do I not have enough milk supply?

Sounds like you r talking about my baby. He nurses from one boob and falls asleep. He wont wake up to take the other boob. He sleeps briefly and when he wakes up he wants milk again. Night sleeping is getting better though he hates sleeping in his crib.

My son was just like that.... Oh.. it was 10 years ago but i still remember how hard it was.....back then he was my only baby and i could concentrate all my energy on him. He was on my boobs 24/7 !!! And was feeding 4 times every night till he was 11 month old....that when i switched to formula. It wasn't that i didn't have enough milk....just the way he is. He is still fussy eater lol.

Ew lol where do u get it is it healthy to take? Lol

Try Fenugreek. Its supposed to increase your milk supply. A WIC dietitan referred it to me. My bubs stopped latching properly and I wasnt producing enough. They had me taking 2 3x a day. Though heads up it will make you smell like maple syrup lol

With him eating constantly its not really giving you a chance to fill up so he's basically snacking all day. Not sure how to remedy this other than to give him a bottle so he can go 2-3 hours before nursing again. That way when he nurses there should be enough milk to fill him up but after a good nursing session I would make him wait at least 2 hours before letting him nurse again.

Tomorrow 264 ya I give him a pacifier first he knows how to take it out now so he does! Lol nd mummymelza
..exactly how he is I give him formula at night only nd he gets full from formula awe ya he will be 3 weeks on Friday I wonder if its a growth spurt cuz just last 2 days! He will nap on me then put him down and will cry for more milk I'm like ahh lol well I'll feed him my breast milk in a bottle sometimes nd it will fill him up just not on it

Have you tried giving him a pacifier? Sounds like he may be using your breast as one.

My little man is the same. On the boob constantly. I occasionally get a 3 hour stint during the night but its every hour the rest of the time. How old is your bub. He could be having a growth spurt. They drink more during a growth spurt to up your production. As tired as I am I still put him on the boob whenever he wants it even if it is just to fall asleep because I ran out of milk with my first cause he pacified himself with a dummy and not on me so never got my production up. This time so far I have heaps and heaps on milk and bub is putting on weight like a trooper. :) good luck.
