Hi all! I’m a new mum to an almost 6 week old baby, and have been struggling with breastfeeding issues. (Very severe clogged ducts and mastitis for the first 4 weeks) but now i’m a bit perplexed at my baby’s feeding pattern. She usually sleeps well at night since the start when she was sleeping with the confinement nanny, waking up every 3 hours to feed when bottlefed. Since the last 2 days she’s been waking at more frequent intervals 1.5-2hours at night when I latch her after 3am, and she only drinks from 1 breast each time for a short duration (max 10min). When offered 2nd breast she refuses to drink. Not sure if she actually drinks enough?
She also has a lot of grunting sounds + squirming which i believe is from her gassiness so I try leg bicycles and abdominal massages. So not sure if her reflux is starting to affect her feeding
Also so exhausted from the sleep deprivation the past few days because if she doesnt latch I have to pump > wash, and when she wakes up again in 1hour i have to feed again
Can anyone with similar experience give some advice? Thank you!
