I’m getting exhausted of breastfeeding some days. My nipples are bruised because in addition to a lip tie, as baby has grown, he’s developed a tongue tie. I can’t keep up with the calories he’s demanding, I keep losing weight and look like an alien because I’m burning so many calories breastfeeding at this point (hitting a peak, he takes 4-5 oz from me at a feeding, which we know from weighted feeds, every 1-4 hours but not quite ready for solids yet).

I’m just hitting a really frustrated low point again right now. I’ll keep going (goal is 2 years) but I’m just physically exhausted at this point. Remind me I’ll get through this. It’s only a few weeks until I get to start solids and get to take some of the demand off me.
