Our little one was born on 11th April, I'd planned to try breastfeeding and see. She was latching for short periods but we were readmitted to hospital due to jaundice and they said we needed to formula feed as she wasn't feeding enough and to flush the jaundice out.

When do you really know your breast is out of milk to produce more? I hear that mothers don’t really know if there boobs are empty because we always produce more after bf or pumping?

Hey Mommas, how long are your breastfed babies nursing for? My 2 month olds seems full within 8 minutes usually. Not sure if that’s significant
