I'm knackered! I have barely put him down all day and have got nothing done. Oh please let me sleep tonight little man.

He's 9 days old, and I'm so pleased feeding is going well.

But oh for a little time off.

i was wondering if babies feed more in the hot weather as they are more thirsty? tis true then,,

He fed all night too! [zombie emoticon]

I posted this last night and then ended up taking him off to bed to feed lying down and not getting up again. Didn't intend to post and run.

Broccolli - my ds did this for 9 weeks!! It will get better, hang on in there. Glad to hear you have mastered feeding lying down.

DS is now 2.6 and has spent most of the day feeding because he is under the weather with an ear infection.

Thanks Mawbroon.

Have just got back from the midwife clinic and he was 9lb 7oz at birth 10 days ago and weighed in at 10lb 9oz today. He's just a hungry boy.

Well done, that is fantastic

I found that when I just surrendered myself to the breastfeeding and stopped worrying about doing stuff round the house, then it all became a bit more manageable. Obv, I don't know your circumstances and if you are able to do that or not... Oh, just looked at your profile and you have a toddler as well, so maybe not!!

Have you considered trying a sling so you can feed him on the go?
