Feeling like I can’t cuddle my breastfed baby!

I am wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way?! My baby is almost 2 weeks old and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I am wanting to cuddle him so much but every time I hold him he starts his breast feeding cues. I’m starting to feel like a milk dispenser 😂😭

Yes! Me too ...and last night I couldn't even pass him to my other half as he was trying to suck his chest too lol 😆

@Natalie 😂😂😂yes!

Yep I am the milk bar and that’s ok hahaah

Yes same here

Exactly the same here, kinda jealous of the gorgeous, calm and sleepy cuddles my husband gets with our 3 week old….compared with the headbutting rooting cuddles i get!! 😂

I started wearing my husbands hoodie after feeding her

@Carley that’s such good idea!

Yeah that doesn’t go away my guy is almost 7 weeks and if my partner wants to cuddle him I fuck off and go do house chores for abit cause if he sees me all of a sudden he is starving 🤣🤣 we find it funny, my partner will say look there’s mama the milk tank! (We call our son Frank the Tank) lmaoo

Hahaha 😂. It is so comforting to know I am not alone in this. I cuddle him when he's asleep, and I get told to keep him on his bed to sleep, but it's the only time he's not trying to breastfeed. Hopefully, it all changes soon.

I lie him upright on me and then he isn’t in the rocking position. So if I’m on sofa his head is just under my chin and I pat his bum till he falls asleep! It’s the only position that works for me! Xxx

@Mathilda when I lay him upright, he routes himself back to my boobs and starts trying to eat through my top🤣
