Deana, you're nearly there
Don't worry about how your boobs feel, ok? If your baby wants to feed, feed him. Keeping him near to you (and a day in bed is an excellent idea!) is a great way forward for now. Try, please, try to put everything else aside and just concentrate on being with your baby. I don't know what support you have at home? Please take any help you can get.
One other thing - wanting to be at the breast all the time is normal. It doesn't mean he isn't getting enough milk. Drinking down a whole bottle of forumula doesn't necessarily mean he's hungry either - the flow is quite difficult for them to control and they tend to just drink it, hungry or not. Then they fall asleep - it's the christmas-lunch effect.
The best person for advice on breastfeeding issues is a qualified lactation consultant (or else an ABA counsellor).
All the best![]()
