I need a break today! Astrid has been hungry every two hours like she didnt just get two boobs. She only took one nap today and is eating like she's got to sprout an inch. She didn't want to sit with my mom or dad and hubbs is out of the country for the next 8 days working. I am trying to get her to take a bottle from someone else but she just screams. I feel like I will never be able to leave her with anyone for a few hours.
Anytime mama, if you ever need encouragement or advice or just need to talk, don't be afraid to reach out...breastfeeding is beautiful but it can be really hard and draining!
You got this mama, like @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom said, it won't last forever, just while they are young! You're doing great, every two hours is totally NORMAL for a breastfed baby, they digest breastmilk very quickly and will nurse for more reasons than just hunger! Just hang in there, try and relax and enjoy it while it lasts, someday we will all be missing our breastfeeding snuggles 😍
You will be able to eventually. Just not right now. I know it's tough, but just hang in there!!! You're not alone momma and it's normal for baby to do this. It won't last forever.
