How often did your newborn feed ?

[CinderToriella]

She should still be pooing every day at such a young age (which she is doing). It might slow down as she gets bigger (my DD went 17 days without a poo at about 10-12 weeks!). But it sounds like you are doing fine.

Congratulations on the arrival of Hannah! (this is our favourite name if we have another girl one day).

Yes def at least one poo a day now .
I know i loveee the name , always have and when we found out she was a little girl there was no questions on the name

i'm still laughing at the 'if in doubt flop it out'

with the fussing and pulling off, i found it to be one of two things, * that they are irritated that its not fast enough letdown /or supply isnt bulging so its not as fast of a flow or * that they are actually are full but still want to suck for comfort and sleep and are getting cranky that it is actually coming out.

as another pp has said try getting your letdown before attaching, so they dont start off cranky waiting. its hard work for them at such a young age to suck for long period so they do get tired easily and if you dont have a gushing flow like when you feel engorged they can get a bit cranky over that but it will pass as their sucking gets stronger. if bubs is falling asleep and you notice the sucking action change, take her off and wake her up, you can try stripping the lower half of the clothes off, apply a wet facewasher to the bottom of the feet, tickling between the legs, a nappy change, even a good rigourous burp by rubbing up and down the back, then try putting her back on.

both mine have done the full but wanna keep going and sucking thing, the only option here really is to give a dummy, you will know if the dummy doesnt satisfy and she is actually hungry cause it will just keep getting spat and she wont settle. having a lc tell me to start a dummy was a godsend, DD1 was so much more settled and fed heaps better and DD2 was born to do the same thing.
