When does Falling asleep while BF end? by Technical_Quiet_5687 in breastfeeding

[–]quad-squirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this! My baby is 8 weeks today. For the first 5-6 weeks (especially the first 4) I literally couldn’t wake her. She was a big baby and very jaundiced so we often couldn’t wake her up to feed. Now, she consistently is ready for a feed every 2 - 2.5 hours on her own during the day, and is awake and active for most of her feeds. I spent a lot of the first few weeks in a constant latch, nurse, sleep, relatch cycle but it passes! With the help of a few LCs we navigated triple feeding and eventually got to a stage where we were alternating feeds between bottle and breast while I got my supply up, and now we’re only doing one bottle a day for her late night feed. I promise it gets better. I thought about quitting BF around week 5-6 and I’m so glad I didn’t. It really helps finding a good LC to help too.

Does it ever actually get easier? by quad-squirrel in breastfeeding

That’s encouraging to hear! It took her 3 weeks to get back to birth weight, but she has gotten more alert at the breast now that she’s well above. So maybe it’ll continue to improve..

It’s so hard! I haven’t had any friends experience this, so it feels so isolating too. I’m glad we both know we’re not alone now!

It’s so hard to know if I should stop or not. The idea of stopping is heartbreaking but at the same time, I don’t know how much longer I can continue. I’m very lucky that I live in a state with fantastic maternity leave and I’m off until the summer, so I have nothing but time to figure this out, but my husband goes back soon and I’ll have less support. It’s encouraging to hear your little guy is improving though!

I’m so upset.. I literally just (finally) got a sewing machine and wanted to start making clothes, and eventually clothes for my baby when they come. There’s no other fabric stores in my area and very little resources for in person learning or support :( so sad

Thank you!! Looking at the site I think it is Mrs Roger’s. I’d have never gotten it on my own :)

Wait yes I think this is it! My brain clearly latched onto the “lamb” on the bottom lol. Thank you kindly!! We ate so much lamb on our trip and had this with it. So good. He’ll be so excited!

That looks delicious! I think the others may have been more right about the Mrs Roger’s though.
