Ladies I have a question... my little boy is 4 weeks old and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. His feeding doesn't seem to have slowed down at all. he feeds from 10 to 15 times in a 24 hour period, and anything from 5 to 25 minutes per feed. He has one boob per feed in the hope he gets the thicker milk at the end. Does this seem excessive? I'm exhausted feeding every hour to two hours. I don't know what's normal and what's not! he has regular wet and dirty nappies. I was hoping it would start to stabilise and have longer between feeds now, I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up :-(

Aww hun it is difficult. i have breastfed 2 and currently 3rd. as @littleelf85 said you are past thr most difficult weeks. i breastfeed on demand so i just feed whenever my baby wants to feed and it differs. Some days its every 2hrs or she sleeps more and its 4/5/6 hrs... i personally think breastfeeding on demand is best but you can cluster/block feed if you like.. xx
In home daycare prices
Hey Ladies! I'm starting my own in home daycare within the next few months. I will be licensed and have all the required certifications as well as a bachelors degree in physical education for k-12grades. I'm trying to figure out how much to charge per hour. What do you pay for in home daycare? Do you pay per hour or per week? I'm located in the Chicago suburbs. Any suggestions or advice would also be greatly appreciated!!

What's for dinner, ladies? I'm making baked ziti with a salad because I had the urge to make sauce from scratch. What's on your table?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My son has to see a pediatric Gastroenterologist for his puking and pooping issues. My poor baby, I feel so bad for him especially with his pooping. I hope the appointment is sometime this year and I also hope the weather holds up as we will have to travel about an hour as there are none where I live. 😕 also he has a wheat allergy which he seems to be fine when eating wheat but she said maybe it could be affecting him in another way with his bowels or making him puke so have to minimize that fro...
thank you @littleelf85 @taralou . I feed on demand during the day, and have tried to cluster feed in the evenings on the run up to bed time. I'm not sure how much difference it's made as he still wakes at 12, 3, 5 and 7! I've had one night so far where he slept for 5 hours... I felt like a goddess after that night! I guess I'll just keep persevering in the hope he slows down soon 😴 zzzz xx
