    Hi, I only just saw your post, it does sound like your supply is going up, your LO is still very young and your milksupply is still adjusting. The fact that you are leaking proper milk is a really good sign that you are producing, as is the fact that your LO seems content while feeding. They do seem to want to feed more at night so like PP said if you can co-sleep that would make it a bit easier. I didn't with DD but then I only had her to look after so could sleep during the day etc. I have a feeling I will with the next one lol!

    If you LO is unsettled afterwards it could be that he just wants to suck, you might wanna try a dummy but the advise is to leave that until BF is fully established. My DD had a dummy from about 5 weeks and it did save my nipples! Until then she had wanted to be attached to me constantly ( it felt like) at night. I could see that she was no longer feeding after about 20 minutes just pacifying herself so once she had the dummy I got a lot more sleep lol!

    It sounds like you r doing a fab job so far, things will get easier I promise!!!

    Yup, sounds like you're doing great! Well done you, I know it's really tough at this time, feeling very anxious and unsure of everything! I found co-sleeping really helped with frequent night feeds.
