Hi everyone
I just posting this more to get it out there but any advice I would love, actually be desperate for.
My newborn is 8 days old today, and we are breast feeding, in his terms, its going great, he has a good latch and has more or less fed really well since birth. He is content after feeds and for the past two nights is going 1 hour 1/2 between feeds and has slept this morning from 8 am and its now lunch time, he'll be up soon for another feed, early morning seems to be his sleeping time, then back to feeding every 2 hours during the day and after 11 at night every 1 1/2.
In relation to me, I am sore, :( was sobbing last night from exhaustion and my whole body just aches from tiredness. My nipples well my left one anyway still isn't fully healed and now I just feel dread when I have to feed on that side . I was thinking last night how bf has actually ruined or placed a cloud over my first week with my newborn but maybe I was just a bit down with it all last night or hit with baby blues :(
anyway, I don't have any intentions to stop feeding at the moment, I am hoping that this time next week, I'll be much happier, I know once it doesn't hurt so much I will be much better and feel much more positive even without the sleep .
Any other new mums out there feeling a bit miserable or finding it more challenging?
I'm really doing my best to stay positive it just hurts
