Constant feeding - Im knackered and feeling like giving up :(
Bub is almost 4wks old and is a champ at breastfeeding BUT he feeds almost constantly Im lucky if I get 2hrs between feeds if not less than that and its starting to take its toll on me. I tried expressing but I couldnt get more than 50ml over a 24hr period and he had that & fed off both breasts before he was satisfied.
I hate that I keep thinking of giving up breastfeeding or even topping him up with formula because Im just so tired, esp given I have a toddler to deal with as well.
Is this normal for a baby to feed so often? When he isnt feeding he is crying and *sometimes* sleeping. My first was never like this and didnt breastfeed well so we formula fed full time from 4wks old.
Hoping someone can give me some insight or advice.
