Not feeding well

melaniejt

Hi everyone,  

DD is 7 weeks old and has been really finicky with breastfeeding lately. She's only been nursing not much more than 5 minutes, and sometimes only 2-3 minutes every 2-3 hours. The norm for her is 7 minutes per breast, so I don't know how she's possibly getting enough. She's been gaining weight, but only a little over 1/2 oz per day and has plenty of wet diapers. She just went through 3 days of no poop, but pooped today and it was nice and yellow. I think I have a fast letdown and sometimes she will latch on and off and sometimes cry because of frustration, or at least that's how it seems. Yesterday, I went out with some friends and hubby bottle fed her all day, but she was only taking about 2 oz. every couple hrs. Still doesn't seem like enough to me. However, she is acting very happy and comfortable. Have any of you experienced this?
