I know it's fairly common for people to think they don't produce enough milk. At the time I was BF with DD, I didn't think too much about it, but now, in hindsight, I wonder if I did have issues that I may need to address this time around.

These are the things that make me wonder if my supply was low - would be great if you could give me your opinion please Barb:

*DD was very slow to put on weight, though she never lost it
*She wanted to feed all the time, which I was happy to go along with until the 10m mark when she was still up at least 8 or 9 times a night.
*I never leaked at all
*My breasts were never sore or hard, or felt any different even after unexpected long periods between feeds
*I was never able to express more than 40ml at a time.

DD caught a virus at three days old, and was tube fed what little I could express plus some formula. I expressed after every feed - about 3 hourly. When she was able to BF, she latched on well but grew tired very quickly and always fell asleep after no more than 10mins at most. That continued for many months.

I know all these things can be considered fairly normal, but as a group, it does make me wonder. If I do have low supply, I want to be prepared this time and do whatever I can to boost it. Feeding often didn't seem to have any effect last time - she was always fed frequently (2-3hrly once we were home).

Bit of a ramble - sorry!
