Every baby is different, and it will take some time to find your stride. It really does feel like they are eating all. the. time. Taking it day by day helped me, make it through today, make it through tomorrow- seriously it does fly by after a bit. When they start to get a little more head control it gets a lot easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-breastfeeding-become-easier-for-you#post-120589 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:57:08 +0000 DpeachLu 120589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: how do you figure what your first and last feedings are if you are feeding 24.7??! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-breastfeeding-become-easier-for-you#post-120588 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:53:26 +0000 lemondrop 120588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took 8 weeks for me to start even liking it. It does get easier, hang in there!! </p> <p>I pump after my first and last breastfeedings, this way my husband can feed him while I take a break. Daddy does love his bonding time too! In the middle of the night I used pumped milk to bottle feed since I was too tired to fight with breastfeeding for the first 6 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-breastfeeding-become-easier-for-you#post-120586 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:47:02 +0000 DpeachLu 120586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like a giant boob stuck on my couch having to nurse my daughter for about an hour at times every 1 1/2 hours... which pretty much gives me a 30 minute break in between feedings.. and since I pump after feedings I am getting NO time to get sleep or other things done. So in order to do so I supplement with formula here and there. </p> <p>When did breastfeeding become easier as in when did you have to nurse less often through out the day? </p>
