When you go to feed him next just keep alternating which breast you give him first. That way you can produce a good amt of milj from both. And what is also a good thing to do is pump after he eats. That way you are completely emptying both breast since your breast will work as a suppy and demand. I didn't pump after feeding with my first and regret it since when I went back to work I could never pump more than like an ounce. Then I ended up giving up when she was about 8 months.

It will be every two hours or so For a little bit. Even with formula it's that way... every 3 or so but then you have to get up and prepare it. They are growing so much so all they do is sleep and eat! If you are comfortable try Co sleeping, then you can feed them in bed. Congratulations! This time will fly by and you'll catch up on sleep soon enough. Nursing is one of the greatest accomplishments as a mother for me, it's great to see them thrive on breast milk. Good luck!

When I first started breast feeding I also could fill my little one with one breast. It's also just fine that he's eating every two hours.just try to rest in between feedings and maybe try breastfeeding in a more comfortable position so you don't feel like it'stoo much work
