My baby just 19days old, I have not enough milk (breast fill soft). I read this article last night and fill very comfortable and decided to try best to feed him by BF. However, last night was terrible for him, myself and my husband. He used nearly 1.5hours for BF but my breast is too soft that he can't fill enough and keep crying. Finally, I feed him with milk powder (3 oz as normally he drinks 4 oz) and then sleep well. I feed guilty when I can't feed him full after 1.5hours but spending only 15mins for feeding milk powder. Also, my husband cannot fall asleep as BB keeps crying. What should I do?
Thanks for your sharing and congratulations on your success.
Unfortunately, I can only feed him by breast milk once - twice a day as I still do not have a lot of milk cause he has stayed in hospital 5 days and I did not pump it out so my milk becomes less and less. I don't know if it is related or not but his face has a lot a lot of "red dot" when start eating more milk powder..... a bit regret that I did not insist to feed him with breast milk.....
