Hi everyone, I am a brand new mom and spent my pregnant months reading the baby whisperer books over and over and making notes loving how much sense it made and felt it gave me a confidence to start life as a new mom... until dear daughter was born two weeks ago, molly mary. I love her dearly but am finding it so difficult to get any sort of routine established, she wants to feed every hour and half - two hours at night and during the day will sometimes go three hours but there is no waking her after feeding, I am breastfeeding btw, her eyes don't pop open when i sit her upright as the book mentions and she finds it hard to settle on her own, she wants to suckle but won't take a dummy.
The good news is that the breastfeeding is working as i was worried i wasn't giving her a good supply but she is put on a pound last week so she is doing fine. How did you all get started or is it just to difficult with a newborn? Am I beating myself up to much or not trying hard enough (its hard with the lack of sleep!!) Any hints tips etc would be greatly appreciated as I so want to get this to work !!
Thank you in advance friends..... :-)
