Tasha, are you able to express? My bubs is currently feeding every 1.5-2 hrs at night, slightly longer during the day but I have a good supply so I express once a day and get around 240 ml which I use at night or when bubs is with hubby. It is still hard but gives me a break and more freedom. He feeds much quicker on the bottle so it makes it easier at night when I'm bleary eyed.
Sorry for just barging in, I haven't posted for ages. Our beautiful boy was born the 9th July, 9.2pounds, born naturally at an independent birth centre with our private midwives.
He was posterior and got a wee but stuck so pushing went for aaaagessss but we got there in the end with a little tear and a couple of stitches. All feels pretty normal now.
We are tired but very very happy and grateful! no Dtd for us yet either. The mind is willing but the body really isn't, sleep comes first right now! And luxuries like showering and eating lol
We have taken apart our bed, mattress on floor, bub on snuggle bed on single mattress beside me and usually in our bed by around 4am when I can't sit up any longer to feed without falling asleep! During the day he sleeps in his swing in the lounge near us. A very snuggly, cuddly baby who is happiest on mummy or daddy!
Happy to hear our bundles were born safely, have been reading along when I get the chance!
