HELP!!!

Mama is stressed
Mama is upset
Mama is unhappy
Little Caleb always fall asleep during breastfeeding at night
Then Mama has to breastfeed him for every 15-20 min over a few hours
It's exhausting
It's stressful
It's driving Mama crazy
Yet Mama can say nothing because she is supposed to be a matured and sensible mother

I read baby need to be feed every 3-4hrs interval at the initial stage. So can roughly guess what you are going thru. Try to rest as much when the baby sleeps ba. I read of a recommendation to express BM then allow hubby to feed baby once at night so that you can rest early for those mid-night feeds. Not sure if there are any adverse effect as in baby don't want mummy to feed after trying bottles or etc. I think its worth a try. Shld help a little ba .... Cheer up k :)

honey, I've gone through what you are going through now. so I understand. Ariel will also fall asleep EVERYTIME I feed her. I cried, screamed and wondered why humans are born as babies and not adults. anyway, don't worry, he'll slowly need lesser night feeds as he grows. some ppl give FM as the last feed so that he can sleep longer. but I suspect you'll experience another kind of pain if you don't empty the milk. so you still gotta wake up and express out. :P you take care ah. to caleb, you are his universe.
