If your baby is very content nursing at one breast per feed, and is growing well, follow that pattern. Cup feeds should not be necessary if your baby is properly positioned and attached at your breast and nursing well. She can obtain the hindmilk more effectively than any manner of expression. If your baby comes off one breast after her sucking slows, and eagerly is looking for more, offer the other breast. Watch your baby.
Babies love to be held, stroked and cuddled.
Monitor your baby's output and weight gain. Since your little one has lost a bit more than usual, I would not only recommend keeping a close eye on your baby's output, but also her pattern of weight gain. Your baby should be wetting at least six to eight diapers, and having at least two to three bowel movements each day. Normal weight gain is four to eight ounces a week. Get help with breastfeeding.
