Hi, maybe i'm jumping the gun a bit as Zoe hasnt settled into a routine yet - she is only 7 days old. But I'm finding breastfeeding is taking up to 2 hours at a time which I just cant sustain. I have resorted to limiting the time it takes to b/f to an hour each time at night, and 1.5 hours during the day. After which time i'll drain each breast and give her whats left by bottle. I know people say she'll get nipple confusion, but she latches on fine.
When i b/f she just drops off to sleep constantly and eventually the jiggling awake doesnt work, so i change her nappy and she is a bit alert, so i jiggle again, but it works for smaller and smaller amounts of time, so then i put her down whenever she snoozes and when she cries 2 mins later i feed again, but i just cant sustain it for the 2+ hours it would take to complete the job. Any tips or do i just ride out the storm?
Thanks, Megan
