My DS is 12 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. He had some initial infections and illnesses and was slow to gain weight (born on 75th, dropped below 25th and now back up to 50th).
I'm confident my supply is fine but he seems to want to feed ALL the time in the evenings and through the night. I was happy to go with the flow initially but I really am losing the plot now. Am so tired (also have a 3 year old who has decided to wake a couple of times a night now too) and am sure he should have settled down into a feeding pattern by now. I don't mind him waking once in the night to be fed but last night I fed him a 6:30 (pm) 9pm 2am 3am, then he was awake happily until 5 and 7:30. I feed him lying in my bed but I'm suspecting he's not hungry at all (now he's started rejecting his dummy, just wants breast).
If my supply really is the problem in the evenings (given I am having no sleep) I don't want to give him formula as that will surely worsen the problem. I'm so tired I can't think straight and can't begin to work out what is hunger, what is tiredness/comfort and what is just me wanting him to stop crying!
Help!
