WTF, brain? So, I've been EPing, but today I offered the boob following the LCs advice, expecting more of a "recreational feed" rather than a true feed, since we've only had one good weighted feed. Well, LO went to town! It went so well, I offered at both feeds following that. I followed up with the bottle of BM expecting him to suck it down, but he ended up appearing at least partially full from BFing. I pumped about 7pz less than usual, and I'm hoping it's because LO got it from the boob himself. I actually didn't have to supplement with formula at all today - a first for us. I should be celebrating, but I can't help doubting our BFing skills because of our history, and worry that I'm starving him. He's peacefully sleeping, so logically I know he's not hungry or he would be up crying, or would have finished the last bottle I offered. But still I can't help but stress.
Totally know how you feel! I've been dealing with something similar. Waiting on an LC.
amyface813 and serunatu Thanks for the support! I will try to trust my boobies. If things keep going well, maybe I'll make an appointment for another weighted feed for peace of mind.
