Having been a carefree late 30's lady I'm finding it hard to cope with the constant demands of BF.
I'm finding being constantly tied to my daughter really hard. As much as I love being with her I just long to have a bit of alone time - for instance earlier I was just going to pop to Sainsbury's, a ten minute walk away, for a bit of time to clear my head (after a dreadful 3 hour sleep night), when she suddenly wanted to feed despite having done so 45 minutes earlier. My partner went instead and I was so jealous. I just felt so frustrated that something that would have been so simple 7 weeks ago was now out of reach!
I'm also finding the unpredictability of feeding times hard. I try and feed her before going out on journeys but there's no pattern and I often find myself dealing with absolute meltdown screaming in places where I simply can't feed her like the middle of the street. There doesn't seem to be any warning and it makes me so anxious!
Does this get easier - any tips?
Ps I do express some and my partner uses this for a night feed so I can sleep so don't think I should be expressing anymore for the day should i?
