Hi,
I had been exclusicely breastfeeding up until about 3 weeks ago. I started to wean the baby b/c I have to go back to work (and won't be able to pump). I still wanted to breastfeed at night, though. I breastfeed the baby at night (starting at 6, though sometimes he isn't hungry until 7) and feed him alll through the night until 7 a.m. He used to eat for 10-20 minutes at least off of me, but now he seems to be 'snacking'....he'll only eat for a couple of minutes off of each breast, then he starts to fuss, and i have to switch him to the other side. Then he fusses again and is done. He feeds more often then he does during the day (around every 2 hours instead of 3 or 4 during the day) and at night he has regressed to waking up every 1-3 hours, but he only eats for a few minutes before falling asleep. My breasts have started to feel 'not so full' and last night i pumped and only got 1/2 an ounce out of the one, and 2 ounces out of the other. Am I losing my supply???

Thanks for your help,

Maybe your supply is still regulating itself to the new schedule? I've never tried to adjust to a schedule like that, so I'm probably not much help. I think it takes a month or so to get regulated? Good luck! I hope you can keep it up!
