SO OVER IT!

I am getting pretty fed up with the boob feeding. All this fussing, and pulling and yanking....driving me NUTS! It seems he hardly feeds for long at all. One feed today totalled 8 minutes from both boobs and that was with all the fussy goo gaa in between....I think I'm ready to pack it in! Doesn't help that I got a blocked duct last night and it's pretty sore still!

Max will be 5 months next Wednesday so I am going to get him weighed and see if he is still gaining weight OK on what 'seems' to be less bb milk. If he IS then I know that he is feeding OK...if not, then I'm going to put him onto some food and start mixing it with formula to get him onto that too.

Anyone have any suggestions on getting off bb onto formula. I feel kind of bad, but am so desperate to do it at the same time. Tough!

Maybe all this fussing does mean he is more hungry....after all, he WAS sleeping through the night for ages, and now we are up at least once a night (not that bad I know!) The night time feed is the only one he does 'properly'

All this hard stuff....it's a good thing they make them so CUTE!

To answer some questions. I have never wrapped Max (only in hospital - plus I was carp at it!), he was in a sleeping bag as soon as we got home. Glad I did that coz he is used to it now!

Favourite thing to do with Max is take him for a walk with the dog. So relaxing and I get to pamper my pooch at the same time Plus I like playing on the back lawn after his 4pm feed. He gets his 'free willy' time!

Take care all
