Mama needs a break

I’m FTM and I co-sleep with my baby and I am exclusively BF I really need one day break to go out for date with my husband, I miss just two of us so much. Unfortunately I can’t pump because every time I pump I got tons of clogged ducts. Are there any hope i can do it one night ? My LO 5 months and still wakes up at least 3 times at night. Are there any hacks to sleep train my baby without let him cry at all 🥲

Sounds like you’re struggling a bit with the overwhelming demand of it all. It’s tough! Especially when we don’t get enough sleep as well! It depends how long you want to go out for. Could you, Feed, leave baby with family for a few hours with an emergency back up bottle of pumped milk (if you manage it)/ donated milk or formula to use if baby screaming for food, and go out for date and then feed as soon as come home? The other option I don’t know if you’ve tried is that every time you’re feeding little one on one side, you could put a collection cup or a Hakka on the other breast to collect the let down? Doesn’t always work for people, but sometimes it does ! Then you’d have maybe a little extra stash of milk. Soon you’re little one will Be able to start solids and then quite soon after that might be able to have three meals a day so it theoretically should get a bit easier for someone to look after for a little little bit longer, depending on how much your baby 👀 for breast!

*your not you’re :p
