I'm breastfeeding my 8 week old baby she was a big baby at 10 and a half pound and I feel as though I feed her all day long eg between 8 to 10 times a day I thought maybe because she was big born she might need more but now I'm worried I'm not producing enough milk or strong enough milk for her I'm scared about comp feeding incase it bungs her up real bad... I'm not real sure what to do!!! And another quick question at what age did you start solids to you LOs

At around this time of age I found my babies needed more milk as they where growing but the only way to increase ur milk supply is to feed a lot more to stimulate ur body to produce more milk. Make sure ur drinking a lot of water and try having alittle cordial the sugar will help, can also try lactating cookies to give ur body a boost. Also feeding solids starts around 4 to 6 mths depending on personal preference.
