I am sooo trying to be patient tonight but I haven't slept a wink and I'm losing. My. Fucking. MIND. I can't sleep with her on my breast, it just doesn't happen for me...but every damn time I take her away from it SHE WAKES UP CRYING. I, of all people, should realize this is normal, cluster feeding behavior and that she just needs extra love, comfort, and nutrition right now, or perhaps is increasing my supply, but all I can think right now is YOU DON'T NEEED TO BE ATTACHED TO THE BREAST 24 FRIGGIN HOURS CHIIIIILD 😠😢😭😴 Sorry rant over. Dad is trying to distract her while I calm down but she just keeps yelling and complaining, I really don't wanna continue to feed her all morning now....oh well. Nothing I can do for a baby who refuses everything but the breast 😔

@mtzmaria25, I try...kinda hard to stay calm when you've been up for 24 hours and your nipples hurt lol....I know it's just a phase though, 4.5 months so far exclusive breastfeeding, I won't give up now! Not the first or last growth spurt unfortunately, damn this one is a doozy though!!!!

I hope she stays asleep for a while too and gives you a good little break, good luck!! 💛

falling asleep with baby on the nipple is not easy, and not too comfortable either. I learned how to to do it, but after she's completely done breastfeeding, I think I'm going to need a chiropractor and many massages lol!
sleep well now that you have a chance!(:

Just woke up lol....she slept for 8 hours after FINALLY falling asleep, which gave me about 6 hours cuz we had breakfast and had to settle in lol....anyways, completely agree with both of you! @kattastrophe, although I can't sleep with her on me like I did when she was first born, I feel ya on the chiropractor thing for sure!!! @mtzmaria25, it is pretty hard to breastfeed with no dummies, no breaks...last night was one of the MANY moments where I felt like I wanted to give up, but now I am renewed after some much needed sleep and I know I am doing what's best for her as an individual baby, and I know it's a blessing....whew. I sure hope tonight won't be as hard! Now, to go feed her again...my boobs are sooo engorged after her long sleep 😜
