Hi
My baby boy is 20 wks old and can get v frustrated at the boob. I had hoped that by this stage bfeeding would be easy but it does still seem to be a bit of a struggle. My baby was 6 wks premature so we havent started introducing any foods just yet. He does get a btl of expressed milk every so often and I think he finds the predictable flow of the btl so much easier. I think he is frustrated at the start of a feed if the flow is so fast he nearly chokes and then frustrated a few mins later when it slows down and isnt fast enough! I am worried about my supply and am feeding more from the right side as the left is a bit rubbish. Feeds tend to be short. During the day he is feeding about every 3 hrs, and every 4 at night. He's putting on weight well though still small from being premature. Lots of wet nappies but after regular poos for the first 3 mnths or so he is now only pooing every 6-10 days.
Would love to hear anyones thoughts! Thanks x
