When he’s awake (almost all day) Lucas only wants me. When I am holding him he wants to nurse-nurse-nurse. Oh and nurse. I’m not exaggerating here. He naps for MAYBE 30 minutes. Maybe twice a day. When I try and get him to go BACK to sleep Will makes noise and it’s all over.
The only time he doesn’t want to eat is if we are out somewhere. Then he will go 30 minutes- 1 hour, but then he wants to …EAT again.
Once in a while I can put him in the bouncy seat for 10-20 minutes.
When DH is home he tries to take over and that sometimes works.
HE is on solids 1-3 times a day.
I’m wondering if it’s my supply?!!?! I just can’t take it any more. My nipples can’t take it.
It’s been going on since BEFORE we moved and I need it to stop soon.
I’ve decided BEFORE bed he will get 4 oz. formula. MAYBE it’ll help.
Oh and so I don’t totally go insane I let him “CIO” at least once a day for 5-15 minutes for “nap” .. then Will tells me he’s gonna cry his eyes out and I need to go get him

You are strong my love…you can handle it! Stronger than me at least. Ryan is doing the same thing as far as the mommy only syndrome and sleeping very little. I have just about given up on the breastfeeding part…He gets a bottle of breastmilk morning and sometimes night other than that ITS FORMULA BABY!!! He is only taking one jar of food every other day too. I am praying for you (and me) that we can hang in there. Keep your head up…I think that is why God gave us babies practically on the same day; so we could encourage each other 🙂
