Hi, my dd is just over 4 weeks old and is feeding relatively well, gaining weight etc. However, what I at first thought were super long feeds (2.5 hours) im now suspecting is comfort sucking. I keep her uptight in a hug over my shoulder after a feed for 20mins then try to put her down but after 5 minutes she is crying, every single time until she's picked up. Obviously I know she's only little still but my sanity is wearing thin as I have no chance to eat properly or do anything st all.
Another issue is I'm wanting to start expressing at 6 weeks, but howcwillthis be possible when she's attached to me all day? Is this normal to cry literally non stop?
