Feeding all the time
My little man is coming up 6 weeks and he is still feeding constantly. In the day he wants to feed every 1-2 hours. If he's awake he wants food! It's not the growth spurt as he's always fed like this. Just wondering if anyone else had this and does it get easier and when. 3 hours between feeds would be wonderful! He will go for one 4 hour period at night but feeds on and off for the rest of the night.
Really struggling at the moment as i have a very active toddler who is getting fed up of mummy constantly feeding and not being able to do much with him. It makes life very difficult getting out and about with him. x

They do say though at 6 weeks they are supposed to become more efficient at feeding :roll:
Just really hoping he goes for longer between feeds as his stomach gets bigger! I definitely cannot carry on like this! My toddler is starting to play up to get my attention. I feel so guilty that I can't spend much time with him. x
If you are worried she might not be AB efficient feeder, get checked by an ibclc breaftfeeding consultant, check latch, positioning, milk transfer and Tongue tie, all types.
It does get easier, honest!! Utmost takes a little bit of time.
Try investing in a sling so that baby is always close to you, and you could lerner to feed in the sling so you can still plsy with your older child
