Needing less milk?

[lovemybub]

Okay, I actually have another question (I'm full of them today :confused: )

My DD (15 weeks old) seems to have been feeding a lot less lately. I'm not worried about her, because she's still having a good number of wet nappies and pooing like she's going for gold in the olympics :eek: plus no one who has seen my bub could ever question whether she's putting on enough weight...

So I'm basically just asking out of interest. Is this a normal thing for babies to go through a period where they actually want to feed less - I guess I'm still worried about this supply thing. I'm trying to build my supply back up during a time when she actually isn't feeding as often.

I'm really just worrying too much, aren't I... :o

Have you tried expressing as this might help to keep your supply up.

My dd is 8 weeks sometimes she feeds more & sometimes less.

Hi


My DS is 12wks and has days where he'll feed less often and not as long as usual. I found that he goes through a cycle.

Does your bub sleep more when feeding less? Possibly a growth spurt.

I found that my DS normally picks up on feeds in the next day or so.

If your really worried, see a CHN or GP. They'll know the symptoms if there is a problem.

Wishing you and your bub the best
