Did baby settle once your milk came through?
I’m EBF and baby is 2 days old. The last two days I’ve not had any rest bite from the breast feeding which I understand is normal as they are cluster feeding to build up supply. However, as soon as I put him down he is unsettled and wants to go back on the the boob straight away. I literally can’t put him down at all and have had only 4-5 hrs sleep in the last 72 hours.
For those whose milk has come through, was baby more settled once it did?

My second day felt like I was feeding constantly for 5 hours straight then he’d sleep for an hour an want another marathon of feeding, my milk came in on day 3 and he calmed down a little bit, on day 4 now an it seems like he’s settled an is feeding every 2/3hours an sleeping for 2/3 hours, so I’m having a slight break from those first few clusterfeeds
No, I breast fed for a week but none of us were sleeping. He would be feeding for 2 hours & get really frustrated and scream it was a horrible cry. We switched to formula & it’s been so much better for us all. He’s drinking 4oz which is on the higher end for a baby and I was producing 1oz from both breasts
Not for me. Im on week 3 of this
I’m on week two, and she’ll sleep sometimes for an hour when put in bed, other times I’m only getting any sleep if my husband holds her for an hour or so
