Hello
DS2 is 4 days old and we are finally back at home, after a traumatic 3 degree tear and obs for DS (I was on 50g sertraline during pregnancy)
I only survived 4 days BF with DS1 (undiagnosed TT) but this time round it's not painful and there's no sign of TT.
I would love to carry on BF, but DS2 is never off the boob. Ever. I cannot put him down, I cannot hand him to other people (DH managed to hold him for a couple of hours tonight- miracle).
It's just so hard and I don't think I can cope with the lack of sleep.
I know it's because he's so little. I know he's stomach is tiny. But I just need some sleep!
During our stay in hospital, the MW offered a couple of top ups of formula- but once he'd guzzled it down he was straight back on the boob!
My milk is in, my breasts feel full. I'm leaking etc.
I don't even know what I want from this post...I feel delirious. This is normal, right?
