i could cope with cluster feeding if...

[Emster30]

it lasted less than six hours at a time

it finished before 3am so i could get some sleep

ds didn't constantly fuss on the boob, pulling away painfully, giving me really tender nipples/breasts

i could get comfortable feeding in bed

dh didn't get stressed about it and constantly go on about how he thought newborns were supposed to sleep for 16 hours a day, while this one on;y seems to sleep for 7-9 hours

someone talk me out of giving a bottle of formula!

i totally understand.i posted on here a few weeks ago and was supported brilliantly by mners,as i wasn't being in rl.
it really has got a lot better,he is 12 weeks today ang going longer between feeds (still pretty frquent though if i'm honest-but deefinitely improving)

i defo think if you can get through this first bit,you'll come through the other side.

i'm amazed at myself that i didn't cave and give a ff.all my friends are too,as,like yours,non of them seemed to have this problem,and couln't believe my ds fed so much.
this really made me doubt myself,also hv was bit crap and said i had to make him go 4 hours between feeds ...luckily everyone on here told me to ignore that!

listen,it's bloody hard work,so good on you

Is it normal for a baby to cluster feed at 6 days old?
