Feeding ALL DAY!!

[Heaven]

DD has seriously been wanting to feed every hour and sometimes more the last few days!! She's always been a frequent feeder (at least 3 hrly) but this is getting ridiculous!! She feeds at least 3 times over night too but that's normal for her.

I've tried giving her food instead but she still wants the feeds??

She's teething so maybe it's making her feel better but I've seriously had my boobs out all day for the past few days, lol.

Is this normal? Should I just keep going or try and distract her when she wants more? Sometimes she just has a few sucks and then wants to get down but then is back 2 seconds later for another couple of sucks. And she won't take no for an answer!! Other times she can feed for 20 mins.

Yep - normal unfortunately Breastmilk is a pain reliever so it helps with the teething and she is also probably wonder weeking where she wants to be close to mummy, have her connection time and then go off to play again. I think it is the 46 week one so you should be due a stormy period.

DD did the same and my poor boobies were soooooo sore (and early in pregnancy too ) I felt like she was always there demanding. There is no subtlety

yep, exactly the same thing going on here ATM too. the other day i just put him in the back of the car and went for a drive to get him away from my boobs for a bit! did the trick
