It gets easier. They will get more efficient and nurse less frequently. You'll also leak less or not at all. Hang in there. Right now, sleep, eat, cuddle, survive.I am completely exhausted. I need a nap. It’s really too bad I’m a cow.
All they need is milk, momma, and a safe place to sleep.
I’m trying to just be there for them. Every time they cry I leak job a little bit more. Might as well just not wear a shirt.It gets easier. They will get more efficient and nurse less frequently. You'll also leak less or not at all. Hang in there. Right now, sleep, eat, cuddle, survive.
yeah, I recommend just going topless and lie on the floor. They'll find a way.
By the time my oldest was a couple months old, I slept topless and slept through the night. We bed-shared, he would wake up and nurse without waking me.
Gianna moves too much in her sleep for me to be able to co to sleep but the bassinet is helpful, they cry, I wake up, we feed.yeah, I recommend just going topless and lie on the floor. They'll find a way.
No such luck with the second one, bed-sharing didn't work well for us. He did periodic breathing, and every time there was a pause in his breathing I would wake up. Mothers (who bed-share from birth, exclusively breastfeed and don't use alcohol/drugs/medications that affect sleep) have the most bizarre sleep when co-sleeping with a newborn. They don't move or roll over, and they wake up every time their baby's breathing changes. It's quite incredible. And somehow they get more and better sleep than mothers who bottle feed. (moms who pump and bottle feed get the least sleep and lowest quality sleep). I messed up my shoulder from not changing position in my sleep and had chronic pain for years from it. He got moved to a co-sleeper (crib attached to side of the bed) and then room shared.
I did sign up for some online college classes.
