Hi,

This is my 6th child that I have BF but I have only ever made it to 12weeks with the other kids or less. But with the other I normally had big bleeds at birth and my body was every run down.

But this time I was fine after birth and we have BF exclusive till this Tuesday. On Tuesday I took my son for his needles and to be weighed and measured he was 7.05kg and 67cm long. He is a big boy. But about 4 weeks ago he weighed 7.1kg. My doctor was a little concern that his stats had dropped off a bit.

I told her I feed him for 20-25mins a time (If her doesn't finish by then I take him off) I think he would stay there all day if I let him I occasionally let him go longer up to 37mins. He only feeds from one breast. And then he feeds every hour to hour and half. My doctor said that is not normal. And that I could top him up with formula bottles or offer him solids. I don't want to give him bottles if I can help it. So I offered him solids on Tuesday afternoon and every afternoon sense. And he is still feeding the same.

He was sleeping through the night but for the last few weeks he is waking 2 -3 times a night..

I really need some advice on what I should do.. Cause this is wearing me out.. Which can't be helping my supply if that is the problem..
