Tegan I remember when I was b/feeding Lachlan. He was feeding 2 hrly day in day out and it was really really tiring so much so I did start to sink into depression cause I couldn't be there for Kameron as much as I wanted too. In the end the GP advised me to switch to Formula and as much as I didn't want too I thought I would buy a box of single serve sachets of formula instead of a big tin and that first feed of formula Lachlan slept for 4 hrs !! So I switched fullly.
Definitely not saying at all that you have to FF LOL, just bascially saying I know how you feel as I have BTDT myself bascially. Can you try a nipple shield for your cracked nipple and if you don't have some invest in Lansinoh it is the best thing for cracked nipples and too keep your nipples in condition as well.
Ashton bascially fed from 4pm - 6pm on and off and then slept till just after 10 and I have just finished feeding him again, so flying thru the forums and then off to bed.
Have Child and Youth Health coming out tomorrow to check up on him.
Hi, I'm back. Sorry I don't have time for personals as I have to go off to my 6 week check up with the ob in a minute. I haven't been on in a couple of days as Thomas is so unsettled during the day. Luckily he is a bit better at night but I'm so tired all I do is sleep. He is waking frequently at night, pretty much every hour and a half, sometimes every hour, but settles quickly most of the time thank goodness.
I can cope with Tom crying but am not doing so well coping with MIL. She was great for a day and a half but she can't cope with the crying and is getting narky and critical and that's stressing me out. I am usually really calm when Tom cries but when I know she's downstairs getting uptight or worse, upstairs trying to tell me I'm doing the wrong thing, I get very stressed. Oh well, she leaves on Monday.
Tegan you poor thing, you have it worse than I do. I really hope it improves for you. Take care of yourself as best as you can.
