Today it seems that my little one has not stopped feeding and is not sleeping during the day...Could this be something to do with the weather?

Any help/ advice would be great, I don't think my boobs can take anymore!!!

My 2 week old has been a lot more unsettled today than I'm used to and feeding every hour or so. I'm presuming it's the heat and she's hot and thirsty.

We've just had a cool bath together and I'm now feeding her skin to skin (we are both naked!) to see if it helps regulate her temperature a bit. She seems a lot more relaxed but waiting to see how the evening works out.

I used to let my baby suck my (clean) little finger! He was happy and so were my boobs!

They cluster feed a lot at that age - just find somewhere comfy, lots of water & snacks & go with it! It will get easier! Smile

Thank you all, I was thinking it may be the heat that's causing her to be so needy in the bf department... Stuck the fan on to cool the room in the hope it helps!

Hubby is making sure I am fully hydrated and comfortable 😊

In hot weather you make more watery milk to keep her hydrated. Nature is doing its thing for both of you. Go with it and make sure you are drinking enough - glad your OH is on hand to help. It's hard when it's like this, been there.
