dd is six weeks and breastfed.
i was thinking i'd let her fall into her own routine and this seemed to be happening, feeding around every 3 hours in the day and 4 in the night. all good i thought. until a week ago when it all changed, she has become really unsettled and seems to be finding it hard to take a feed all in one go. so she'll feed for say 10 minutes then come off and then despite obviously being hungry she doesn't seem able to feed (don't think it's wind as she burps in between). i'll try and settle her or leave her for a bit but she'll then get really overtired which makes the feeding even more difficult. this goes on and on until she'll finally feed again (but in the process will not have slept for all the fussing so will be in a right old state). come the evening she's really overtired and so we have more of the same only worse.
i'd be inclined to go with the flow but for the fact that 21mo ds will be finishing at the childminder to be with me full time at the end of next week and i don't know how i'll manage with this problem (that requires almost constant attention) and a toddler.
any ideas? tia
