Sleeping update

[moonstone523]

It got so much better. Man when you are waking every 1-3 hours it's hard to think straight.

The past two nights S has had 4-5 hour stretches. Woohoo! I has to wake her up last night because I was so engorged bc of this block feeding. She still fights me during our day feedings. I had to pack the pump so I'm not tempted to use it. The boob I'm not nursing on gets sooo full I am tempted to pump. But that's no good for this situation.

Anyways I'm hoping the sleep situation keeps getting better and the bfing corrects itself!

You can hand express a little for comfort on the side you aren't feeding on. It'll help.

Yay for sleeping!

Great news about the sleeping situation! Those longer stretches make such a difference!

Yay sleep!! I bet once she doubles her birth weight you'll be waking her up to play because she's been asleep so long that you're missing her.
How long does it take you to get engorged between feedings? That should work itself out really quickly. At least without the pump you have a little more time on your hands to rest. Enjoy this break from it. I don't want to look at a pump again for a long time. Pump burnout, and I only did it when it was convenient.

I'm engorged after 3 hours or so. But then one side she hasn't fed on for 3 hours on top of that. So, boobie hurts and is Rick hard. She still gets pissed at the boob during the day. Hoping this block feeding helps!

Must be frustrating. But at least you aren't worried about supply

So glad she's sleeping longer for you! So sorry about the sore boobs, though. It should work itself out soon, hang in there.
