We call it night 2 fussies and the constant nursing is not lack of milk at all ... actually all the nursing will bring in your milk. Posted from @lalecheleagu...eusa Read more about baby’s second night here: https://kellymom.com/ages/newborn/bf-basics/second-night/ If you are concerned that your baby is not getting enough milk, check these signs and check with your healthcare provider: https://facebook.com//a.264537160241504/1721611477867391/ [Image: Blurred photo of neighborhood at night. Text: Second Night Syndrome "All of a sudden, your little one discovers that he's no longer back in the warmth and comfort of his womb, and it's SCARY out here! All sorts of people have been handling him, and he's not accustomed to the new noises, lights, sounds, and smells. He has found one thing, though, and that's his voice...and you notice that each time you take him off the breast he protests--loudly! A lot of moms are convinced it's because their milk isn't 'in' yet, and the baby is starving. What's really happening is that your baby has realized that the most comforting and comfortable place for him to be is at your breast. It's the closest to 'home' he can get." - Jan Barger, RN, IBCLC, FILCA from The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding] See more
