Had my second daughter 5 days ago and we are establishing breastfeeding. Previously fed my now 6yr old for 4 weeks before the second bout of mastitis won the battle!
With my first daughter it felt like she was constantly on the boob and never satisfied and barely slept.
My newborn is literally waking every 2hours, feeding for 30 minutes and chilling out before falling back to sleep for another 2 hours (and is sleeping for 3 hours at a time at night) I actually feel concerned at how little she seems to be feeding, she was weighed today and lost 5% of her birth weight which the midwife is happy with and is having plenty of wet and dirty nappies so I know I should be reassured at this but has anyone else felt like it is just too easy in the first few days?
(Promise, this is not a stealth boast post, I just think I was so prepared to hate the first 6 weeks like I did the last time that the fact we are both laid back and content at the moment is throwing me off. I am fully prepared for this to change and knowing my luck she will now be up for the next 10 hours cluster feeding!!)
