While breastfeeding is recommended by many doctors, it is not as simple as it seems. This is a community dedicated to parents who are choosing to breastfeed, providing a safe place to discuss everything from pumping, to questions of whether baby is getting enough, weaning, breast care, scheduling, supply, and more.
Are these signs that she isnt feeing well?

My girl was born on the 22nd, she took to the breast right away, seems to be nursing well, but I still stress about it. She is having heavier wet diapers, has the right amount of "BM's".
I dont leak from the other breast when she is nursing. Is that bad?
During some meals it feels like she nursing forever, so does that mean she isnt getting milk?
During some feedings it is obvious she is getting alot of milk, you hear her swolling hard, but not every feeding.
There are some times when I know she doesnt latch on good (the pain in the nipple) and other times it isnt a problem. Is it normal if she isnt even a week yet to still be learning how to latch properly or is it my fault?
I am so stressed out about it right now, I dont want to break down and feed her formula but I dont want to starve her! HELP...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If you think she isn't latched properly, then insert your finger in the corner of her mouth to break the seal and make her latch on again.
As far as leaking from the other side, it isn't necessary and it is even bothersome. So if it isn't happening, don't worry.
I have nursed three sons and I can help anytime you need it, just email me. Hugs, Fern
