Establishing breastfeeding with a toddler

DH has two weeks paternity leave, and I have my Mum and MIL to help whenever I need them, but my 16mo (god love him!) is absolutely crackers, he never stops!

We are not ok with phone/tablet screen time, and the TV doesn't really grab him for very long. So, how do you find the time to feed for as long as you need to?

I had a horrible time breastfeeding DC1 and gave up quickly so this is my first time!

Use the first two weeks to sit on the sofa/ bed etc with baby and have skin to skin and bf as much as possible. When you are juggling both, I found a sling really helpful. DTs were 2.4 when baby was born, and feeding him in the sling was the only way I could (just about) manage with all of them.
