what’s happening with my baby

my little girl is 2.5 weeks old. she has been latched onto my breast since 5pm, it’s now 11.30. i wish i could say i was exaggerating but she’s literally been feeding for 6.5 hours. she screams between each breast too.

she’s been awake the whole time and now she’s extremely overtired and won’t sleep. she’s had a 3oz bottle of breastmilk and is still rooting and chewing her hands.

i just don’t know what’s wrong with her or what to do.

She is probably boosting your milk supply by cluster feeding before a growth spurt x

My little girl was the same, I stopped breastfeeding because I didn’t know if she was getting enough, turned out she wasn’t! So I started pumping the same amount of time as she was on the breast (kinda) , I pump for 30mins and she has between 180ml to 200ml a feed. Maybe try to pump and give her why a 2.5 week old should have? Otherwise as for your health visitor or breastfeeding consultant for advice :) x

Nappy Changes

So, my 10 month old has discovered his willy. Every nappy change is a struggle now as he just pulls on it and im worried he will hurt himself. Its also a pain to then keep his hands away from his mouth mid nappy change when cleaning him up.

Any advise on the best way to navigate this would be appreciated.

Sincerely a first time boy mum ✌️

Does your toddler wear stained clothing?

My daughter loves pasta with red sauce right now, and has stained at least 2 pairs of shorts and 2 shirts. 🫣 I hate to get rid of them, but also don’t want her to wear stained clothes.
