DD currently seems to be feeding all day and if she's not feeding is fractious. It's making me feel that I can't take her out or visit people as they either don't see her cos she's on the boob or she's creating and I spend all my time trying to sooth her. Can I do anything to stop this cycle? Should she be playing a bit more at this stage? When will she start to hold things and play inbetween feeds? Can I try and put some sort of routing in place in the day or should I just continue to feed pretty much constantly? on the up side, she is sleeping fantastically at night. She is in her room in her cotbed and will go down no problem at 1030ish through until 7am. I am getting up at 2/3am to express to keep my supply up though she is reluctant to take a bottle - sometimes she'll take 4oz in 1 go and then go a few days when she'll refuse completely so can never rely on giving her an expressed bottle feed. Don';t know anyone else in this position. My friend has just had a baby and has gone straight to formula feeding and I think she thinks I'm mad for my chaotic daytimes... any advice/help would be really appreciated. Have found mumsnet a big help just surfing other posts - we had big problems getting started with feeding following a c-section, then mastitis, then oral thrush so now we've got this far I don't really want to give up but would like it to be a little bit more practical with life in general!
