when did breastfeeding start feeling the easiest and efficient for you?

Question

I'm wondering for all those mamas who have breastfed before or already a couple months into it, when did it start feeling like you weren't breastfeeding and wasn't all consuming part of your day anymore? I just feel like 1 month pp that it takes up my whole day. Read that they start eating  on 3-4 hour schedule around 4 months? Can you share you schedule when it did start to become convenient?

Answer

Once I moved from every 2 hrs to every 3 it made a huge difference! When he was almost 3 months. Hang in there. It's soooo hard at first but it really does get better!

Answer

I'm 6 weeks pp and it's like it all came
Together this week.

It gets better, I swear!!!

Answer

I would say somewhere around week 8. We had a major fussy growth spurt week 7 that was basically day long cluster feedings and just after things settled for us.

Answer

I think around 6-8 weeks it becomes less all-consuming, and baby gets a bit more efficient at eating. Breastfed my first for 15 months, and now 12 months strong with number 2! You can do it, and it does get easier. Those first couple weeks of cluster feeding are hard! ❤️

Answer

I feel like I must've lucked out. My babe is a week old and she eats every 3-4 hours, and for 10-15 minutes at a time (growing just fine too). I've started pumping/bottle feeding here and there just to make sure she's getting enough though.

Answer

My son is about to be 5 months and still eats like every hr or 2 during the day. He sleeps almost all night. But in the beginning it took him about a half hr to nurse, now it's just 15 min
