I never realized it would be so tiring!

Breastfeeding that is. I just never considered how much energy it would take up! I am blessed with a good baby that sleeps through and I do get at least 7 hours of sleep, so I know that's not the problem. I'm just completely knackered from making so much milk I reckon. I just don't have the energy to do anything at all.

On a good note - apparently it burns off around 500 calories a day so I am losing weight by sitting on my back side feeding for 4 hours a day!

Well done to all you sleepy breastfeeding mummys!!

I'm gonna have to BF till Hebe's 18 to justify all these extra calories I'm scoffing....

Do ya think 18 might be pushing it a bit!

The hormones that are released during feeding are also a bit to blame as they can make you feel very relaxed.

It does get better as your body gets used to it and your milk supply regulates itself. I remember being so tired at feeds i'd be droping off even when she'd started sleeping through the night.

well done for keeping going
