This is one of the reasons I feel like such an awful mummy. I hate waking him up but if I don't he will go ages between feeds and not much weight on. It's really getting me down
its only at night I don't wake him . If you didn't wake him how long would he go before waking at a stretch ?
I'm struggling with the opposite to you. My poor mum who is 73 and quite the prude ( try's to disguise she even has boobs of her own lol) is trying to discourage me from BF lol.....when I'm visiting she sends me into another room to feed and alerts everyone in the house ! She almost puts an armed guard on the door !!!!! She keeps making comments like " in my day only poor people breast fed " would he not perfare a bottle? Why are you putting yourself through all that oh could help if you bottle fed . I also think OH is feeling a little left out due to baby constantly being attached to me . He took him for an hour this am so I could sleep but brought him down after 40 mins saying here you will have to take him , he won't settle with me all he wants is boobs !! Awh bless him little does he know as soon as BF is over the rest of the rearing of him is his lol.......... Sports clubs , standing on the sidelines in the rain , birthday party runs , the whole lot hehehehehehehehehehe
The midwife has just been round and he's now past his birth weight
She checked his latch again (all fine) and said we can move to demand feeding as long as we don't let him go too long between feeds. She was really encouraging and said not to get too hung up on the weight thing... Oh and to relax and have a glass of wine!

Popples you make whatever decisions are right for you and your baby ! My mother had 5 of us all FF not a boob in sight and we turned out just fine
seeing GP tomorrow, pretty gutted. Have also been given advice on how to sort my engorged boobs. I think I've bruised my left one by hand expressing, keeping an eye on it in case it's something else. Expressed my right one using a pump and it feel loads better. Got a Savoy cabbage in the fridge as told that the leaves will help!? 8.30pm think I'm going to try and get some sleep in before the chunk wakes up. Anyone else's LO's posseting after feeds?
delighted for you it paid off Happy demand feeding
we are all going to have our fair share of good and bad days ! I had a middling one today . I feel a little guilty I can't do anything in the house and oh has to do it all , well Hoover , floor washing, anything with lifting and bending as I had c section . I also feel a little housebound as I cannot drive till the second week of April !! Live in a rural location so its me LO and the fields for now lol ..... Counting down the rest of the six weeks so ican feel a little normality return to my life and I've a little freedom and independence . It sounds like pure bliss to be able to go to the shops or even out for a coffee with my new little side kick I can't give out about OH he has been wonderful but I feel bad putting more demands on him to be at my becon call lol after all he. Is adjusting to fatherhood, working and doing the house work !
