Ds was a big baby at birth (98 th centile) since then I have managed to exclusively breastfeed despite having a caesarean but I am struggling a bit now. It feels like he feeds so much that I just don't have any time to myself. From 7pm till 1 am or later most nights he feeds pretty much constantly. On top of that I am getting negative attirudes from medical professionals (health visitors, gp, nurses). They either express suprise I am managing or tell me I will probabaly have to wean early/ movr to mixed feeding... Is this the case? I planned to bf exclusively till six months before weaning but starting to doubt this plan now. And should I introduce a bottle at night?
Should have said, ds now 7 weeks. He's stayed on 98th since birth
