I just need some reassurance that I'm not going to lose my mind.
My DS is 5 days old and I am BF.
For the past 2 days he has been feeding continuously. I will get the odd half hour break through the day as long as I don't move him but he is pretty much attached to me 24/7.
The longest break I have had was last night from midnight until 2am. I've hardly had the chance to go to the toilet, let alone shower or try to do anything else.
I'm now so tired that I can't stop crying. My DH can only do so much and he's suggesting switching to bottle feeding so he can help more but I don't know what to do.
He's napping now but I know as soon as I try to move he will wake up and we start again.
I don't know how much longer I can carry on with this.
