Hi,

Your daughter sounds like a pretty normal sort of an 8 mnth old to me. Normal amount of feeds! Feeding is time-consuming, whichever way you slice it up. On reflection most mothers find that it is the *work of motherhood* that tires them out - not breastfeeding as such. In fact, breastfeeding often means that a mum will sit down and have a rest - which she might not otherwise get.
You can start to try a bit of a routine if you like. You two (you and your baby) will work out a bit of a compromise between your needs and her needs.
Warm Regards
Barb
