It has become a bit of a worry as he was gaining that and more each week whilst in hospital but then again, 80Kcal was added to his EBM.
He generally feeds for 30-45 mins every 2 hours day and night. I had been letting down but the last few days it hasn't been happening. I think exhaustion has finally taken it toll. I've increase my fluid intake in the hope that it may assist.
I had no problem with supply whilst he was in hospital in fact, i received a request to start storing my EBM at home because in the milk room, each baby was allocated a section of a shelf but, I had exceeded my storage allocation not by a section but by one whole shelf.
His suck/swallow or gulp as it generally sounds has not changed and he always has a milk moustache after a feed but he does attack my breast in a way that reminds me of a piglet fighting for a nipple which makes me think he is still hungry so, as much as I would love to BF him for his first year, I think I may just have to bite the bullet and introduce some formula feeds.
