Limewave-

Are you rested? Are you running around trying to keep young ones entertained, meals on the table and a clean house? Stressed? (other than the breast feeding thing).

It really is an art- it took me a month to get our son latched properly as he was given a bottle after he was born (despite my strict instructions not to!) One side he would latch on fine, the other side- he sucked my nipple like it like a bottle nipple - it was so painful.

I agree, frequent (though when he goes through growth spurts he will naturally want to feed more- if I remember correctly 2-3 weeks is the first one, 5-6 weeks is the 2nd and 3 months is another.) Pumping, lots of fluids and calories and rest.

Sorry for the pun but "He's as hungry as a Bear!"
