Hi,
You sound exhausted! However, the situation doesn’t seem to be too far beyond normal. Often babies are fairly “mellow” the first days of life- perhaps getting over the birth. But, it is not really normal for newborns to feed 4 or more hourly - and it soon changes (often about the time you come home) Babies generally feed at least 8-12 times or more in 24hours. They are hard-wired to suck (a baby who can’t suck is a baby in trouble) Sucking feeds them, but also gives a nice mix of hormones to help them relax and sleep. And above all that he wants *you* - he has lived 9 mnths in side your body, it’s hard to adjust to life on the outside! Often babies will sleep on their dad’s chest, in that little froggy positon. Sometimes it helps to try a dummy after a feed to help them settle. It’s important to keep breastfeeding while you work out if this is a variation of normal or if it’s a problem, (more unlikely, but possible) giving formula can often make it worse. Get some rest and see how it goes. Get back to us after a few more feeds
