Mom of a 5 m old girl2 weeks ago

Q.

My 4.5 months old daughter always cries at the breast (maybe because of milk flow) and rejects the breast after the 1-2 sips when she is not able to regulate the flow. However she drinks without any issues while sleeping. What is this? Currently I put her to sleep every time before offering breast. Any suggestion is appreciated.

A. I am facing the exact situation with my daughter and previously with my son. she refuses to feed just before let-down when she's awake. but milk flow doesn't affect her while she's sleeping and even an engorged breast is not a problem 😂. if I missed to feed in her sleep, then I had to wait for her next nap. what I do is WALKING while breastfeeding. this helps her to distract from feeding .

A. Teething can be one reason and if the flow was a problem trust me the child would not even take that feed properly while sleeping so there’s another issue only either it is coming or there is some another issue I would recommend you to consult a lactation specialist regarding this because this wave the child is not going to take the feed growth and the weight is going to get hampered

Q. My wife breast feeds our 18 day old baby for 30 - 35 mins. However, as the flow of the milk is slow, baby losses patience and cries a lot. Hence, to calm him down, we feed remaining required milk via formula. How can we improve the flow of milk ? What is the average flow of breast milk ?
