Can't keep eyes open

[brownlieB]

Hi all,

Does anyone else struggle to keep eyes open when BF?

No matter what time of day it is, it's like a drug, as soon as he latches I can't keep my eyes open!

Anyone else? Any tips? Xx

This is normal. BF releases hormones that make both you and baby sleepy.

No tips, but it happens to me too, it's frustrating because I don't want to fall asleep whilst holding him

Yep, what missk said You ARE being given a sleep potion! haha

No tips, but I can say that the sleepiness lessens over time. Probably because we just get used to it lol

Lie down and sleep! It's a great excuse

It's like I've been drugged, it's got better, instead of while he's feeding it sets in about 15 minutes later. But it's a weird feeling xx
