Enough stimulation?
« on: December 08, 2008, 23:27:49 pm »
So, ds eats at around 6, 10, 2, 6, and df at 9 or so.  His feeds last the whole of 10 or 15 minutes for both sides then he's off and running (typical distracted 5 mo ;)).  I try to play a bit then put him back on for a while, but most of the time he's DONE.  Is that enough stimulation to maintain a good milk supply?  How does/did it go with you when you lo's are/were around this age?  He's just moved to 4 hour easy about 2 weeks ago, and is doing well with sleep, etc.  I'm just a little paranoid...  TIA.  ;D

I had a different experience (needed more feeds), but that was partly because I was pumping for several of those.  Just like in the early days, watch his output, his growth, & his contentment after feeds.  :)

Karrigans feeds have lessoned as she has gotten older, but we havn't had any supply issues. Its a supply and demand situation, when milk it taken more is made. Your body will regulate itself and when/if he needs more your body will make it.
