Advice needed
Hi Ladies,
Just need some advice from the mothers with more experience.
I have a beautiful 4 month old son who is now EBF despite opposition and no support from family. The main reason for the lack of support stems from the fact that my son has always stayed on the breast for 1-1/2 and feeds every 2-3 hours and from a family used to formula fed babies it has been hard to say the least. I saw a LC at birth who said there was no latching problems but at 2 weeks old i was forced to bottle feed for 2 weeks due to pressure from the family but i still breast fed at the same time and stop after 2 weeks (when family left) and went back to breast. However i have noticed that i can hear my son gulping down and that he drinks quite quickly and will some times beat me on my breast and i'm not sure why? I did ask a midwiffe while i was in the UK and was told it was because its hard work and that he does it because he is fraustrated? Is this correct or could there be another explanation?
In addition to this he is always chewing on his hands, does this mean he is not full or is it because he is teething?
Also i feed DS at 12 and he gets up at 3am and 6am for a feed, is this normal? I keep hearing from my mother and MIL that the reason for this is because i don't have enough milk for him, which is making me consider giving him formula.
Would appreciate any thoughts and advice.
