Peta, that's great news hun. Don't worry, the feeding will settle down again soon. And with frequent feeding Nathan is getting so much more benefit than just milk. Studies have shown that frequent feeding helps the brain connections to form in the baby from the contact with mum. So you are doing a fantastic thing for your DS!

Could your DH cook up some casseroles, pastas etc that you can freeze before he goes? That way you'll have some easy meals ready for you. And don't worry too much about house work, do just what "needs" to be done for now. The time you are spending with your son is so important for you both.

Keep up the great work hun.
