My DS is 6 days old, bf is v difficult. I've had sore nipples the pai was awful! I knew it was my
Latch but I couldn't fix it no matter what. The MW suggested nipple shields which have really helped but now the wee man won't suck without them. This hasn't affected my supply (so far) as the milk is running down his cheeks.
Anyway the main problem which I need help with is the fact that he wants to suck all the time. He won't do anything other than eat/suck & sleep. I've no routine, can't do anything, go anywhere or even hand him to his daddy as he starts screaming after a few minutes & won't stop until hes back on me again.
How can I break this habit?
How long should he be going between feeds?
How long should he feed for?
God this is hard, am stuck to the sofa/bed 24/7!
Thanks is advance.
