Ashleigh has started playing up too, somtimes in the evening sometimes in the mornings. Like today she got up usual time, had feed a play then 40 min nap after that she had another feed and play and has been on and off my boob for nearly 2 hours! I can see she is really tired cause she keeps yawning and will not even last 5 mins on boob before falling asleep as soon as I try put her down her eyes fly open. I put her down at 11:45 cause my boobs couldn't take anymore.
Usually what I do is let her cry for a bit and see if she'll settle but go in if it gets that really upset crying and then give her a pat and whisper ssshhhh in her ear which stops her wailing. Then leave room again. If that doesn't work and she's doing that flailing her head around looking for boob then I will give in and give it to her.
At least if she does it in the evenings Df and I take turns to go in and comfort her but its hard in the day I barely have time to eat.
