I know it may have been a bit naeive of me but I had no idea that this would happen to this extent. Baby feeds frequently - 3 1/2 months now - and from reading on here that is par for the course and may well stay this way for a while.
I was really looking forward to giving up BF at 6month when he went on to solids.. and am pretty taken aback to find that actually solids are only an addition at that age and that they actually still need milk. I know it can be formula and have no qualms about swapping over but can't believe that I did not know this already!
I don't think that formula is necessarily the answer - it is still a faff but I guess there is the advantage that others can give it. Yes I know there is EBM too, but also a bit of a faff.
I guess it improves if they start sleeping at night more. But honestly, the feeding is really hard and sometimes it feels like he trying to kill me! DH suffering too - even though he often sleeps in spare room. I guess this is just par for the course when you have a baby..
Well just wanted to vent really! If anyone has ever had similar thoughts, would be lovely to hear! I knew it would be lifechanging, but from the way having a baby is portrayed, women are back to their normal lifestyles really quick...
