Breastfeeding

Baby is now 3 months and has started being quite fussy on the boob. Also seems to be feeding for much shorter times. Don’t know if it’s my supply or a developmental thing. I’m combi feeding so hard to monitor if she’s getting enough. Have also noticed my boobs feel much softer. Anyone else experiencing similar?

Yes my LO will only feed for about 6-8 mins max if that! I asked my HV and said they become pretty much more efficient at breastfeeding around this age and can feed for shorter times. And yes my boobs are never hard and engorged as they used to be and don’t leak either. Again was told your supply starts to even out to sustain your baby around this time! Lucy Webber on insta has some good info regarding feeding at 3-4 months https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWF5wVAQ9J/?img_index=1&igsh=cGxodThidTJpejhy

Same here. It’s a development thing and babies are more efficient at it and also too interested in everything around so I’ve been advise to feed her around sleeps

@Olivia I wish I’ve seen it earlier. It started for us around 12-13 weeks on a week when I was completely by myself and I was so scared and confused. This post is really helpful even though I’ve already figured most things out. It’s nice to know you are not alone in this. 💛

Hey! Yep exactly the same here! I spoke to a lactation consultant who said as long as having the correct amount of dirty and wet nappies and gaining weight as normal then it’s all good!
