Bubby cranky, feeding all day, hasn't had her usual sleep - I just can't settle her without the boob!! I think that she has bad wind, lots of smelly farts and nappies.
Yesterday was exactly like this for me My advice is if boob works, embrace it. Get yourself a big drink, snacks, the tv remote and a good book and feed her until she's had enough. when she's finished just cuddle etc until she wants more and just keep reminding yourself tomorrow will be better.
About the wind, have you got something like gripe water or infacol? i find those help bubs a bit.
Yeah, i took her to the shop earlier in her pram and got some of that Infant Friend (like gripe water I think), seems to have helped a little. She is napping just now but I know that she'll wake really soon.
its hard some days isn't it. Like Little Bear said, go with what she wants and if thats boob, then just get yourself comfy! It seems hard in the early days when sometimes you don't seem to get off the couch but it does settle down.
Also, like Jennifer13 said, the sling could be a lifesaver too - most days, DS sleeps in teh sling, so I can still do stuff.
I know how hard it can get, sometimes it feels like u have ur boob out all day.. but they arent like that forever, they have days good and bad.
wind effected my bub bad, we use infants friend after some feeds and once she was 1 month old we introduced infacol before feeds works like a charm.
U are doing a great job keep it up
Struggling today :o(
