breastfeeding struggle....sad?
Hi all! My beautiful little girl is about 2 weeks old. She's absolutely perfect. During the day she sleeps a good few hours at a time and I try to feed her every 2-3 hours, whenever I can get her up. However, at night I feel like a different person. She's just super fussy and will stay up 3-4 hours until she tires herself to sleep. On top of adjusting to her schedule my breasts are constantly leaking, I swear I'm like a water fountain 😕. They are always engorged and I try to pump but don't want to overdo it because I don't want my body thinking I need to make more. It's like a vicious cycle! I just can't help but feel that the struggle with my breasts (the constant pain, leaking) is taking away from my whole baby experience. I feel like I can't really enjoy my daughter because my breasts/breastfeeding is such a hassle. I want to keep breastfeeding but I'm curious if the leaking ever stops? I can't live with my breasts constantly leaking through my clothes. Anyone feel the way I do? I'm just overwhelmed with it all.
