My baby doesn’t nurse more than 10 minutes….??? HELP PLEASE?
AHAHA I’m breastfeeding my little girl she is 7 weeks old. She nurses no more than 10 min. My LC said that is fine she weights 10 almost 11 pounds. ( She said my baby is doing fine). But she nursed for 5-6 minutes all day long yesterday! and She was having green stools….and she was constantly eating in the afternoon off and on every hour or so. She went to sleep at 3 am. and she wake up at 10:00 she just nursed for 6 minutes she doesn’t want to eat more!!! and she wants to go sleep ! what is the problem????
My son did the same thing. I figured out that I have an overactive let down, so he gets full faster. The green stools result from your baby not getting the fatty hind milk and just fore milk. This is also why she wants to eat more often. Try to self express some milk before nursing so she can get the hind milk.
My son is now 11 weeks old and still usually nurses 10 min or less and he is perfectly fine…weighs 14lbs and has yellow stools.
They also eat much more often during growth spurts when they are trying to increase milk production.
Hang in there!! You are doing the best thing for her.
