breastfeeding nightmares!

[maldod]

my 5 month old feeds every hour & a half 2 two max for 10-15 mins at a time

Hi, my 10 month old does that! Just relax and go with the flow

He could be going through a growth spurt or teething. The breast is not just for food, its also for comfort and him wanting to be close to you. It also helps if you co sleep!

That said, I know where you r coming from, I have had many a bad day from not having enough sleep and DS wanting to hang on to the boob all day!

If it helps, I read that in Africa, a child feeds on average 4 times an hour, not long feeds though. So I tell myself that in comparison, its not that bad

wow! its good to know I'm not alone & that other babies do the same! phew
