Thanks Barb and ladies for your support and great advice. I did actually get a couple of breaks between feeds yesterday and today. So things are improving already. Like you say he just needs to get into the swing of this 'new world' he has found himself in.

I am trying the breaking the feeds with nappy changes etc and taking him off when he falls asleep at the boob. I am still snuggling him after a feed though before I put him into his moses basket for sleeps even though the health visitor said I should be encouraging him to self settle but I think he is far too young to 'self settle'
