Help Im new to this and already panicking
I gave birth to my beautiful daughter on Thursday 21st June and decided to breastfeed from the off. At first everything seemed to be okay albeit a bit painful!
Now my milk is starting to come in today Phoebe has been reluctant to feed. (Im feeding by demand) but she last fed at 2pm yesterday 10 hours ago. I have been trying to get her to take a feed but she just wont. Im really scared now and dont know what to do. Surely she must be hungry WHY WONT SHE FEED????

I ended up phoning the breastfeeding helpline who advised me of some things to do which I had already. Thankfully Phoebe took a feed after i had called.
She feed well this morning and throughout the day. The health support worker came tothe house today and reassured me that everything i was experiencing was normal which helped. 2 o clock this morning i was ready to stop but i think i will keep on taking it a day at a time.
