Hi ladies, I need your help. My dd is 6 weekd old and prob weighs about 12 lbs now and we are having problems with the night feeding. It seems I have pretty good milk supply through the day, she empties both at a feeding, and eats about every hour to 2 hours. She will eat between 7 and 730 before we do bedtime routine and then at 9 - 930 when we go to do night feeding it just seems like I have nothing to feed her. She will eat for maybe 5 mins at the most and starts getting mad cause she isnt getting anything. I have been having to use pumped milk just so she can get her belly full. If she doesnt wake up before 4 I am pumping just because I am so engorged. Ladies what can I do to help this situation???? I hate not being able to give her what she needs at night. Any suggestions? Thank you!

This has been happing to me too, My ds is 5 weeks old and Im on the mini pill, I take it at 5 and During the day he eats fine but around 7 or 8 its like he just cant get any I have to feed him for HOURS just so he can go to sleep Im wondering if the mini pill has anything to do with it. I have a manual pump and when I pump it takes SOOOO long to even get a bottle full so I usually dont have enough to even fill him up at night
