6 days old and an eating machine

topic posted Mon, May 26, 2008 - 7:36 AM by  Gab
The first 2 days were a little difficult to get her on the boob but once she understood what it was all about she became a champion latcher and eater. Days 3 and 4 were pretty good and then my milk came in and for days 5 and 6 she has become an eating machine. Yesterday - day 6 - she was asking for boob almost every hour. I probalby fed her 10 times. I fed her so much that at the end of each of the feedings my boobs were actually a full bra size smaller and were loose in the bra (I used to sell bras so I know). One thing that is a little weird though is that on one side she seems to go for only about 10 minutes but on the other side she will go for 20 - 25 minutes and if I try to get her to feed more on the 10 minute side she fights it.
