Haven't been feeling real social, having a hard time breastfeeding (although it's settling at last - now I'm chained to the couch for 18 hours a day!) but things are looking up. How is everyone coping so far?
Breastfeeding is time consuming, isn't it? How did humans survive evolution when us women have to sit around, defenseless and immobile for so many hours each day? I am chasing my inlaws out of the apartment so I can breastfeed and watch TV, or else I'm stuck in the bedroom all day.
Jude was awake last night from 6pm to 11.30pm. What was that all about? I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
I'll join this forum too. I've found it hard to find time to get online!! I am surprised at how long breast feeding takes. I keep forgetting it takes an hour per feed!! Happily I haven't had any problems with breast feeding.. but my worry is if Maya is getting enough!? I don't know how to tell if my breasts are being drained?! I don't have engorged breasts at all.
kuraiza - My little Maya is also going through long periods of awake crying time.. lasting hours. It started a few days ago. And DH and I are going crazy trying to work out what's wrong or what to do to settle her. She seems to not want to sleep - she gets these big wide eyes. But then I think she gets over tired and can't cope so cries until she can settle down for sleep, which can last for hours. I have no idea what to do either.
