Joe is 2 weeks old and feeds all day long!! In the daytime he will settle on me but not for long then wakes up and wants feeding again, although a lot of the time he falls asleep feeding but as soon as nipple is out of his mouth, he wakes back up. However at night he does sleep for 3 hours at a time.

My worry is that hes not getting enough or that my supply isnt good enough for him.

I tried expressing yesterday but only managed 1oz which he gobbled in 3 minutes!

Does this sound normal or should i be doing something else to boost supply?

Oh and he's gained 1oz in a week which i was gutted about considering how much he's been feeding....
 
Sounds perfectly normal he's just establishing his supply. My first few weeks home with Tyler I don't really remember as I was sat on the sofa feeding all day lol!


 
It's like that for the first few weeks babe don't feel bad babe ur doing everything right by letting him feed when he wants, it will improve ur supply.. :)
