Don’t get me wrong I know that breastfeeding is the best for my child, I know the benefits but I also know that it’s easy peasy in terms of organising my baby’s feeding. But I also know from Fizz that it can be tough.
You see I’ve come to the part where I realise my children are snackers. With breastfeeding you can choose to try a routine but inevitably you’ll end up demand feeding…..which can be absolutely exhausting.
I’m trying to remember my own advice from when I breastfed Fizz - ‘it gets better after 12 weeks’ I said to other breastfeeding mummies. Now I’m awake at 5am thinking ‘were you serious, did it?’
Yes, of course it does. As I lay next to my son, feeding him in the serenity that only 5am brings I know without doubt I’ll continue and of course it will get better. Until teething….then I’ll probably be moaning at 5am about that too….
