Baby feeding every 20-40 minutes in the day and two hourly at night

[jadericho]

And needless to say I'm pretty bloody shattered. It wasn't until this last week or so that he's started feeding two hourly at night which made the constant feeding in the day easier because at least I got some decent sleep but now I feel like I'm going slightly mad and tempted to switch to formula - even though I know that isn't the magic solution to my problems but I'm at the point where I'm willing to try anything having exhausted all other measures. He had his tongue tie divided on Monday, he's 8 weeks old and I really thought it was going to improve his feeding and make him go longer between feeds but if anything it's made him so much worse! I don't know what to do! Any ideas???

my baby was like this and after getting him checked by the health visitor was told this is perfectly normal. cluster feeding for me wasn't an evening thing it was 24hours although evenings were worse
feeding him breast milk in a bottle didn't change it either as he just prefered little and often so I'm not really sure I have any advice but just wanted to say your not alone with this and its bloody hard work .
get rest where you can. have you got anyone that can help? even if it's just to talk baby for a walk for an hour so you can rest a bit.
I decided to stick with breast but if swapping a feed or more for formula works for you and helps you cope then do whatever works. as the cliche saying goes happy mum happy baby. but it's true.
it does get easier though. my ds is now 10 months and down to about 4 feed a
a day sometimes more. took a while to get there but it does pass.
big hugs
