Oh, Sas! Thankfully for all of us, caring for a baby isn't about *passing* or *failing* or *cheating*. Those early days can feel like a pressure cooker - even if you've been there and done that before. (Sometimes more so because you've been there and done that before - you feel you "should know" how it works. but they are all different and we give it the best we can......and there is always another day.
Now, tell me, not counting the 6 hr marathon, how many times does she feed in 24 hours? How long is she on the breast would you say? Does she have one breast or both at a feed?
Don't worry about wees too much - if you are really concerned pop her in cloth for a couple of days - that will make the number of wees she has a lot clearer! what about poo? That's a better indication. How many of those is she having in 24 hours?
You really probably need to get back to the LC ASAP - you don't sound like you are far off track - certainly it sounds a lot more positive than your first expereince (but might I say you did a fabulous job there too!) You can certainly put this back together. Take a deep breath. It's OK. Get back to me ASAP and let me know the answer to my questions
