My baby boy is only 2 days old and he is attaching really well and suckling. I am fully breast feeding with no bottles and no dummies.
Yesterday he fed at the longest 9 hours pretty much solid and I got 6 hours sleep from him after (excellent I know). Today however since 930am he has fed almost continuously (it's now 7pm so 1o hours). I think he's finished put him down and within minutes he's crying again. My husband can settle him for about twenty mins max then we have to feed him again. I've just sat all day feeding and I'm worried the same happens overnight. I'm knackered.
Any other mums solely breastfeeding? Is this normal? My milk isn't in yet as my boobs don't feel engorged so I'm hoping it gets easier in the next few days when the milk is in.
Any help appreciated
Thanks x
