I mean of course I feed and change him etc and cuddle when crying. But other than that he spends most of his time in the crib asleep or else just lying there with his eyes open.
I have a 2yo as well who seems to have taken the addition of the baby quite badly and so needs lots of attention at the moment. I have already given up breastfeeding just a few days in because it took so long and was exhausting. Bottles are a lot quicker to administer!
I'm worried though that I should be doing more holding and cuddling of ds2, I think when ds1 was small I definitely did and I ebf him for the first 6 mths.
I think I read somewhere that not enough cuddles can damage brain wiring. I am feeling stressed and worried about it all. ds2 is only 1 week old still.
