Just rediscovering mnet as staying with in-laws so suddenly have time to myself while they look after DS, now 10 weeks old!
Need some advice. We arrived here (warsaw) last thurs. DS had been feeding 4-5 hourly during day and 3-4 hourly at night. Since we've been here he's suddenly feeding every 2-3 hours, and will only feed for maximum 10 mins, 1 boob only.
I try to then wake him, or if awake encourage him to eat, but he won't and sometimes shouts loudly in protest which has m-in-l frowning disapproval.
He's always been a bit pukey, and had been improving but since here is puking much more.
I do realise that their apartment is quite warm
and am drinking more fluid myself as well, but still, how can i get him to eat more and less often? My nipples are getting sore, I've already had mastitis 3 times on the right with 3 courses of antibiotics and don't want it again!
Any advice gratefully recieved! BTW, at least I'm getting loads of support and both of us are being completely spoiled!
