My baby is 2 weeks old and he feeds every hour. I'm exhausted. He latches on fine but is really slow and falls asleep while feeding. I'm so so tired - how do I get him to feed every 2-3 hours?

Like what Nooraini said, it is unlikely that there is any way to go around the frequent feedings because of the size of their stomach. Mostly, the first six to eight weeks will be more challenging, as it is the time when you are building your supply and both you and your baby are getting used to the process. Once you move toward a more predictable routing, nursing sessions will likely be shorter and things will likely be easier. Perhaps an adjustment of mindset could at least help ease the tiredness you are experiencing. - Accepting that you will be nursing most of the time and plan your day with that in mind. Have plenty of magazines, shows, and entertainment ready to keep you occupied while your baby is nursing. - Make a list of things that you would like to do for the week, prioritize and delegate some tasks. You may feel more accomplished if you managed to get some small tasks done. This way, you will not feel like your life is revolving around breastfeeding and breastfeeding only. - Have the items needed during nursing (e.h., diapers and wipes, water bottle, snacks, books etc) ready and easily accessible to facilitate the process. - Rest whenever you can. You need all the rest you can get. Consider sleeping with or near your baby during naps. You can also consider side lying nursing to got more rest. Even though your baby is feeding frequently, remember that sometimes it is just you he/she wants. Your whole being is comforting to your baby. Knowing this may make the thought of frequent feeding more bearable. :) For more useful tips on how to cope with frequent feedings: http://kellymom.com/hot-topics/frequent-nursing/
