Will it get easier?

DD is 4 days old, for the past 24 hours she has fed every 2 hours, sometimes not even quite made 2 hours! My milk has come in as boobs are huge and I can hear her gulping! My nipples are just so sore, and she latches beautifully on one side but I'm struggling with the other. DH has just suggested we go out to buy a steriliser, bottles and formula just incase it gets too much. I'd not bought anything as I was determined to give breastfeeding a real good go, I still am, so will it get better? When?!

If she is content and no one is concerned about her weight then it is fine.

But (and I hesitate to say this) many babies have a growth spurt around 10-14 days so this may not last. If she suddenly starts feeding more frequently don't worry that anything has gone wrong.
