We are doing okay, I am wondering if this is her way of telling me she wants to drop feeds? Or some development? Honestly, I am so confused about what is going on!
She has had a feed every 4-5hrs today... is that enough? She messes around, biting etc before attaching but once she is on, she feeds as per usual. I'm used to her being attached every 2hrs and for comfort and for sleep... and just constantly... so it is a bit of a shock to the system.
I don't know, I've just been trying all the standard advice (have a shower, we don't have a bath; lay in bed in the dark and calm; if she bites, put her down and offer again later) and remembering that this is probably a phase that I have to ride out. If things are still bad in a few days, then I might contact a lactation consultant.
Have been talking to some Mummy friends who have been really good. I think just venting helps because I am so stressed about it. My mind is racing.
On a more positive and happy note: we got our new rental approved and signed the papers today! Paid our two weeks rent and bond so everything is set for moving in on the 10th of Oct. Can't wait to have more space. One bedroom is getting really old, fast haha.
