Suckling is work done it stimulates the body to make more milk so never think that it's a waste of time. It also provides comfort for the child.\n\nYou are lucky most will have to use dual electric pumps to stimulate if the baby is sleepy to suckle all the time or just for the mom to get more sleep too use the pump to kick start the milk.\n\nThe baby shits 1st few days too!! So surely there is some weight loss too!! \n\nYour emotions are at a mess up to 6 months post birthing so it's very normal to feel like that just press on press on.\n\nEven if one doesn't breast feed don't feel too bad just move on and love baby and let them grow, enjoy baby's\nGrowing moments
