Lactation experience of a first time mom | lactation consultant | Working mom

Hi! I just found your channel and it is amazing. Thanks for all the advice. I am a new mom my baby is 1 week old, ans I think I didn't know the feeding vs sooth cues and spent day 3 and 4 nursing for almost all night nonstop and half of the morning. I thought he was just trying to increase my milk production but I am not sure anymore. I just know this rhythm of breastfeedig is not sustainable. I am exhausted. Is there any tip you can offer to figure out how to make him sleep for 2 or 3 hr in between sessions?

Hi Priscila, thank you for being here and for subscribing to the channel :) I hope that some of the initial cluster feeding has slowed down for you. Those first few nights with a newborn can be SO hard. Especially as you are learning each other's rhythm and baby is doing lot's of cluster feeding to help bring in the milk.

Do you think getting the lip tie and tongue tie fixed helped with nursing? If it did, when did you see improvement? Did you do the exercises afterwards?
