It would be so much easier to take it easy if there was no such thing as visitors! I can see why some people keep them away for the first week. Every day has been 4-6 hours straight, and during the day, which is my only time to sleep
We have been saying no to some, but it's so hard. Hopefully by this time next week everyone will be over it. Lol.
My mum has been around everyday, but she cleans, folds washing and does shopping for me, so it's a bit different to the people that come, want to hold my baby when he is hungry and I need to feed him, and stay for too long.
You need to get mum or your partner to start saying go away. Or break out the mama lion in you. You don't need to let anyone hold bub if you don't want to.
Rose - Brodie has been cluster feeding for the last 24 hours too. Geez it is so hard! I was a mess by the end of yesterday. 5.30am I finally got him down this morning and he still wouldn't settle. DH was getting up at that time to go to work and he said he would get him settled for me. Well he came back into the bedroom and 8.45am saying he couldn't hold him out for a feed any longer. DH had called in and said he couldn't come in today because I needed him home! It was so nice to get some sleep!! Still trying to settle him now but just using his dummy and hoping he goes to sleep.
We have an appointment at Maternal Child & Health this afternoon and just before that they are having Rhyme Time with a group of mums so I thought I might try to get there earlier and join in so I can meet some new people and get in on the mothers groups etc.
Is it just me or do you hate it when someone is holding bubs when they are hungry and they go for someone else's boobs?? I cringe every time he does it - c'mon Brodie I'm your mum - that's our thing!!
