I have just had my third son and am breastfeeding him as I did my first two. However, I gave up after a month with my first two because they fed non-stop ie one hour on, one hour off if I am lucky. This is now happening again.
I know DS3 is latched on properly - my midwife has checked. I am feeding on demand and am becoming exhausted. Whilst it probably seems like early days to most of you pros I could really use some support. I would really like to try to breast feed for longer than a month this time but know that I won't manage this if I am unable to take a break.
Maybe being stricter is the way forward. My MIL says he should only be fed every 4 hours but I can't bear to listen to him crying and him not understanding what is happening.
