My son is 3 weeks and 2 days old , he was 9lb14oz at birth. I am breastfeeding him, and the health visitor has been saying it’s going well as he is putting on the right amount of weight and he’s having plenty of dirty and wet nappies. However at the moment I feel like he’s constantly hungry, it seems like he’s always on my breast and its so draining. I’m lucky if I get 2 hours in between feeds. I feel like I can’t do anything like go on walks with him or take him anywhere in case he gets hungry, which in turn is making me feel down because I feel stuck in the house, he seems to be awake and unsettled between 11pm and 3am then he eventually goes to sleep, then we are in a routine of sleeping/ waking up / changing nappy/ feeding / burping then back to sleep for an hour or so, and we do that until about midday until I feel a little bit less like a zombie. I was so adamant before I had him that I wouldn’t co sleep too, we have a next to me crib for him which is his own crib literally next to my side of the bed, but he won’t sleep in it at all, he falls asleep on me and if I try and put him anywhere that’s not next to me or touching me he screams the house down, so usually I put him next to me in bed and cuddle him and fall asleep with him. He struggles latching sometimes too, which I don’t understand because he looks like he’s latched on fine to me, then he pulls away from my nipple and cries, I know he’s getting milk because when he pulls away it falls down his cheek, this can go on for 30 mins or so before he actually stays on and feeds. I have plenty of milk, I have start expressing and if I don’t express, my milk literally just pours out of me.

I want to continue breastfeeding because I want whats best for my son but I’m struggling 😥 if anyone has any tips or advise or can let me know if it gets easier please let me know!

below is my beautiful boy Joey 💙
