sick and tired (literally too)

u can call me names or that i’m ungrateful but i’m really so tired. of breastfeeding of being stuck in a never ending routine of feeding, changing, trying to make baby sleep and repeat and repeat AND REPEAT while covered in sweat, puke and even pee. when will baby stop feeding every 2-3 hours? even when mixed feeding baby still demands feeding frequently. when will my nipples stop hurting like razor blades cutting into me? (FYI baby latches correctly but i’m just so sore still) and don’t tell me to “nap when baby naps”. easier said than done. baby takes up to 2hours to sleep after feed and then after washing bottles etc, it’s time to breastfeed again. i don’t even have time to pee let alone eat at times. and i do have help but some things nobody can help me. it goes on 24/7. i’m falling sick too. srsly anybody else feels this way like me??

I can feel u totally!! This is also my current routine with my 1 month old baby. I feed her on demand, so the feeding gap can be as short as 1 hour at day time to 3 hours at night time. As I'm fully breastfeed, baby will poo more compare to formula fed, literally poo after every feed. I don't hire confinement nanny, only mil to help take care tgt during day time and night time will be me and husband to take care of baby. It is of course exhausting, but I believe it will get better when baby grow older. At least their feeding time can be stretched longer. Baby's smile is my happy pill to relief my tiredness. Let's jia you tgt 😊
