Hi I have a 11 day old baby who I am bf. This is my first baby and I am struggling along bf as he is so so sleepy. I have to set alarms to wake him for a feed 3 hourly 24/7... He falls alseep at the nipple every few seconds and needa lots of encouragement to wake and keep feeding. This is me striping him down to a nappy to wake him etc
He jad a tongue tie cut yesterday which I was told was quite a bad one and it should in time over a few days improve things once he gets used to muscles in his tongue but so far no change
Anyone had similar issue? Also some feeds last 2 hours or more at a time and when hes finished I still have milk left in my breast and have been told my infant feeding team he should have emptied it?
I just feel like there is so much advice out there and would like to hear from a mum on here whos jad similar issies feeding a sleepy baby
