We got this far!! He's 8 weeks today and still breastfeeding. However, he is still feeding every hour to 1h20. He does better at night thank goodness!
 
Well done, those first 8 weeks are the toughest! :)
 
Give it one more month, that might be enough time for him to space it out. I promised myself 3months, got through it, things was at it's worst and I was ready to give in, then it got better, and now I can actually say I enjoy it. Just give it that bit more if you really want to do this so you won't have any regrets.
 
My LO is also 8 weeks, and still Is a frequent day feeder (but sleeps well at night). It WILL get better. I breastfed my other two for at least 18 months each, and by 3 months it got much easier. They still sometimes fed often, but it was quick, and not all the time.
 
Well done mama!!!

I posted on here at 8 weeks, super excited I'd got that far but also still struggling a little.

Honestly somewhere between 8-12 it got way easier.

Once it gets to 4-5pm though DD still wants to eat every 1-2 hours.

But I'll take that for 8 hours sleep!
