Went through a horrible phase with my 4 month old where he fed constantly, wouldn't sleep etc for about 3 weeks. He finally starts sleeping better a week ago. Do I? No, because I'm waking up with breasts so full, they're actually deformed from how much milk there is in them. Covered in cold milk and in so much pain. I expressed a little for comfort each time but that wakes me up and makes me so angry. Not just at night, but breasts are just so full all the time. Itchy, painful, deformed, horrible.
Supply finally settles. Finally. I've had 24 hours of normal boobs and settled feeds where baby doesn't choke on milk. What does baby do? Decides to fucking wake up and feed every 2 hours all night . So I'm back where I started. Happy Christmas for me.
Literally want to die right now. Considered throwing myself off the stairs so I can spend Christmas in hospital and then baby would be forced to have formula and I wouldn't feel guilty about it.
Baby has CMPA. Don't get me started on the shitty foul prescription formula. I know all about it. It doesn't work. I'm his only source of milk.
