worried about supply

[Nicnax]

I'm busy having my usual, once a week panic that Molly isn't getting enough milk form me!I she is putting on weight, has plenty of wet and pooey nappies, and is a happy little soul, so I know she is, but I still worry.

The length of time she feeds on the breast varies so much. she can feed for as little as ten mins, or as much as forty. Anyone else's little ones the same? She has also started to be fussy about the bottle of expressed mill she has per day- she was holding down 5oz in no time, but now she is taking ages to finish it. I guess she could have been going through a growth spurt, and that was why she would take so much, but I am always panicking she isn't drinking enough.

She is 7 weeks tomorrow.

Hugs hun! C is 7 months and I still worry! I sometimes wish that my boobs had ounce indicators on them!!

The only way we can be sure is plenty of wet and dirty nappies alongside weight gain. You are doing fine and giving LO the very best xx

She's fine. I kept a record in the early days on an app as I worried about feeding but Harry was the same- random lengths of times for feeding.

But fear not, your bobbies are fab. We're 11 months in bf and H is a healthy weight xx
