The boob feeding is going ok!

One thing though.... I feel like I constantly have Evie on my boob- day and night.

I know they have a growth spurt but I didn't think it was for a couple of weeks! The midwife weighed E yesterday and she's put on half an ounce from her birth weight which I was suprised at because of the trouble I'd had last week. Now I know I am giving her what she needs I am happy- and really trying to give B-Feeding a chance... how long can I expect the constant feeding to go on for? It's absolutely knackering

connor's only just dropped back to feeding every 2.5 hours during the day, from every 2 hours we manage to go 3.5 hours at night. its bloody hard work - you're doing an amazing job hon. stick with it cos it does get sooo much easier, even when it still feels like they're constantly feeding - i'm quite adept at typing on the computer 1-handed (like now!), making drinks etc, or sleeping in bed at night whilst feeding

Well done for perservering, sounds like you're doing great

Logan seems to always be on my boob too. The longest he'll go between feeds during the day is 2 hours, he'll go 3 or 4 hours from 3am onwards. During the evening he has to be sucking constantly for hours!
I have logan in bed with me so I only half wake up at feed time and can get back to sleep no trouble.

When he's not eating he wants to be on the boob sucking it like a dummy! It's really hard to put him down at the moment cos unless he's in a very deep sleep he'll wake up as soon as I put him down I'm just making the most of being able to sit in the chair feeding and cuddling him, before I know it he'll be going to school and wont want me anymore so Im going to make the most of the cuddles whilst I can

Have you got a sling? A friend has lent me a ring sling and he loves it. Its making things easier being able to carry him around. He'll happily sleep in there on the school run, as soon as I put him in his pram he screams for boob!
