Hi all, im struggling a bit with my little Isaac. He's 5 weeks today & he feeds constantly! I'm breast feeding & since he was born the longest he's gone between feeds is 2 & 1/2 hours & that happened just once. At night he generally feeds about every 1-1 1/2 hours & every 30-45 mins in the day or more, sometimes he goes just 10, today I'm trying to distract him &make him go 45mins but it's not been easy! I love breast feeding him & he's growing fast which is great as he was only 5lb when born but I'm really struggling with lack of sleep now & feel I'm just not able to enjoy him as much as I'd like, I never get more than 1 hours sleep at a time & I'm lucky to get that with settling him & wot not, feel like I'm going a bit mad now. It not just a growth spurt as he's been like this since day 1, which is why im feeling so rough! I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this & at what stage they started to go a bit longer between feeds?? The house is a tip & I struggle to feed myself. My OH understands but I hate making him cook & clean when he's been at work all day, just want a little bit more time between feeds, will it happen soon??!
