Jay's been doing that today too o.o Try pumping more, I guess? Or use some formula. I formula feed Jay at night because she'll sleep for 3 hours after a formula feeding, instead of an hour with breast milk, and I can get some sleep

Dante's done that too so far. But I just do it, because it's not like I have other stuff to do really. Hope she lets up a bit, or formula feed her sometimes like Katrina said. Good luck.

have u tried giving her a binky? shes prob just soothing herself since sucking is a natural reflex. d u have a boppy or a sling? makes one handed breastfeeding possible

That was happening to me when we first came home from the hospital!! turns out that i wasnt producing enough milk for her. Not saying that thats what happening to you though.

Grace is mostly on formula now

it may be that she doesn't want to eat. you don't need formula. you may have too fast a flow for her and she may be sucking for comfort but getting too much. sometimes when they are feeling gassy or some other discomfort, they will try to suck for comfort. you could try a binky or better yet try pumping a little out before you feed her so your breasts aren't too full. if you go to formula now you won't be able to make enough breastmilk for her because the demand won't be there. the last thing you should do if you think she isn't getting enough to eat is give her formula. the more she sucks on your breasts, the more milk they will make.
if you are getting a little too engorged sometimes they can get too much of the foremilk which is watery and has too much lactic acid in it that can make them gassy and fussy. if you pump some of that milk out and give her the hindmilk, it is rich in milk fat and doesn't upset her tummy. it is also more filling and very good for her. make sure you feed her on the same breast until it is empty to make sure she gets all the hindmilk.

believe me, i worried about it too, but you CAN do it. you DO have enough milk for her. she won't starve if you don't give her formula. all that will do is wean her and make you lose your milk supply that she is working so hard to build up right now. it's not easy but you are doing the best for her and she won't be a little newborn forever. just remember that it seems like forever now, but hang in there !!!! you're doing great.
