Normal? / dropped a feed

[El1en]

Hi girls

This may be normal but I'm a first time mum and don't know loads about bf.

My Lo has only ever fed for 5 minutes at a time or at the very most 7. She's on the 75th centile and gains weight well and the hv said she is just a very efficient feeder (she's 15weeks btw). Up until two nights ago she was always up twice during the night for a 5 minute feed each time then straight back to sleep. Anyway the last two nights she has only been up once (I know I should be thinking yay finally!) and again she has had a 5 minute feed then gone back to bed. She's not eating for longer at all during the day at any time so I figure she must be getting less milk, is this okay? Due to her dropping the feed I was engorged this morning and it just got me thinking if she's having the same feeds throughout the day she must be taking in less milk which surely can't be good?

Sorry if I'm rambling I'm just a little worried

More volume could be coming at once
If her weights not dropping and still filling plenty nappies Itll be fine
As for being engorged itll be because shes dropped a feed
To keep supply up try expressing by hand
Through the night is when you make most milk i believe x

Thanks. I've just realised she hasn't pooed in 2 days when normally she is regular. I know bf babies can go a few days without but think I'll take her to see the hv tomorrow and have her weighed just in case

Try giving her tummy a massage and 'cycle' her legs
That might help x
