Couple of questions
Hi Ladies!
I have a couple questions. First off, my little guy is 8 weeks. The last 4 nights or so, I feed him between 9 and 10, then put him to bed. I end up waking up in pain, and leaking. Turns out he's been sleeping 6-7 hours! I wake him up to feed at that point, as I EBF, and don't really pump. He's usually all smiles at that point, and happily eats. He then goes back to sleep for another 3 hours or so. Is this normal for a 2 month old? He's not dehydrated, and seems to be gaining weight, and quite happy. I just never thought he would go this long between feedings this early.
And the second question... I keep hearing and reading about "let down." I haven't felt this at all. Do some people not feel it? I know he's getting milk, as I hear him swallow. I'm just confused as to why I don't feel anything.
Thanks for any info! :
