Newborn cluster feeding colostrum 😭

My baby is over 2 weeks old and we either get long nap breaks (3 hours) or he’s constantly wanting the boob. It’s absolutely exhausting.
This was me yesterday as well, my milk had just come in and he stopped feeding for long amounts of time. I think at one point at like 5am I'd had him on and off the boob so much that he'd been nursing longer than he'd been sleeping and we'd had to change his nappy about 7 times 🙃 I was genuinely dreading that for a 2nd night but we prepared as best we could and tonight he's slept from 1145 to about 545 only waking up to feed once in the middle and he looks like he's going straight back off to sleep now! It is absolutely possible! You got this!
@Hannah WOW! Omg thank you for the hope 🙏🏻😭😵💫❤️ I dozed off for 20 in total last night so I really needed to hear that 🙏🏻 Must... survive...until...milk comes in 🤞🏻
I promise it gets better! We’re on day 6 now and the first 2 days were tough, but as your milk comes in and they take in a little more it gets better! Yep, you’ll have to do more nappy changes, but it’s all signs of a healthy bub! You’ve got this mumma xxxx
I forgot how hard it is too! My little one is now 6 days old and I must admit it’s getting so much easier (touch wood). But the first few nights I literally had no sleep I thought it was going to be impossible to continue. Try and hang in there, remember he’s bringing your milk supply in!xx
