My baby has been feeding (swapping breast to breast each time he releases) for the last 7 hours without pause. Our latch is getting better, we have to occasionally reattach mid feed as he does the lipstick nipple thing when he gets lazy, but my breasts deflate and he feeds for about a half hour per side
side.
So in fear of him not getting enough we just hand expressed and gave him abouut an 30ml of ebm. He is still awake and although not fussing but still rooting a little. He doesn't seem to have wind, he has been thoroughly burped.
I managed to express almost 75ml of milk from both (not even full) breasts so I know the milk is there. I'm hesitant to give him more than what I have as he has been feeding for so long and I don't want to overfill him too much!
Someone please explain to me what might be going on? I'm so frazzled.
