This morning my cat started yowling for his breakfast at 5:30 - disturbingly my automatic, semi-asleep response was to start unclipping the trusty nursing bra... Apparently after just ten weeks motherhood has trained my brain to respond to any demands for food!
This got me wondering if anyone else had any funny stories about feeding so that we could inject a little humour into this madness?!
As a bit of background after a tricky start with a jaundiced baby who couldn't stay awake to eat during her first week, we've been really lucky and on paper everything is going really well. The trouble is that from reading far too much on the internet I feel huge pressure to 'love' breastfeeding.
Sometimes it is lovely and I want to cry looking at her contented face - other times I just want to weep with exhaustion or just get the feed finished so I can get out of the car and into Tesco! Are you really meant to 'love' all 56 feeds every week?!
Therefore if anyone has any stories to raise a giggle and help us all feel we're all in this together it would be very, very welcome!
