Dad is 10 weeks and I really really don't want to give up bf but am getting towards breaking point. During the whole day she won't go more than 1-2hrs without a feed. If we go out in the car or buggy can happily go 3+ hrs. When in the house it is just constant demands for food and nothing will placate her. Partly I think because can smell milk from me but even if DH has her in a separate room she'll also scream for it.
Going to any classes is a no no as she just screams for milk. Massage lasted about 10mins and spent rest of the classes feeding her to keep her quiet, even though she'd had decent feeds less than an hour before.
I can't go on feeding this often during the day. It seems she can go longer if we are not in the house. I just spend days with her either feeding or screaming at me for food. I can't cuddle her as she just roots for food even if just fed.
I love my bf support group and it's a big reason I don't want to give up as it's my once a week sanity to meet and chat to other mums. I also do to want to give formula and gave to sterilise,etc and she has never had a bottle so may not even take it.
