First of all - YEY on the BF! Keep it up, it releases feel-good chemicals in both of you! My DD was ALWAYS falling asleep during feeding and nothing would wake her so she fell into a pattern of really regular feeding. The health nurse was always saying 'oh she's having a vegemite sandwich instead of her meat and veg. Get her to have both breasts at once' Easier said than done and I worried a lot about having enough milk and how much she had at once and looking back now, I wish I had known to just not stress! To this day she feeds sometimes two hourly sometimes four or three - whatever, and it's all fine! And the fear when they are asleep? I know it and probably so does everyone - are they going to wake any minute? Do I have time to eat? You find yourself just waiting for the cry and spend your whole time stressed when you could be relaxing. I finally had to consciously make the decision 'ok, if she wakes it's ok. I will just try another feed/bath/walk around the yard' All this is not very practical advice, I know, but I wanted you to know that you aren't alone in your feelings and worries. One thing I will suggest is trying a little lie-down feed - maybe you will both get some sleep together. Good luck and don't feel bad about seeing and talking to someone about it all - it's a great decision. :hugs:
