Feeding frenzy! When will it end
Hi. I'm new to this forum and I am looking for some support. My 12 day old dd had problems bf at first due to a poor suck. Although she was term, she was a low birth weight and slightly jaundice. However after a week she cottoned on and has literally not left my breast, particularly at nights. Last night she started cluster feeding at half two in the afternoon and didn't really stop until half six this morning. She may have got about 3 hours sleep in between but that's it. She falls asleep at the breast, then when I put her in the Moses basket she screams blue murder. I know it is normal for babies to feed a lot at the beginning of bf but this seems extreme. I also need assurance that this will end at some point as I'm knackered! Sometimes it makes me feel so down.
