What no one told me about breastfeeding: it’s literally an endless cycle of trying to get your boobs to leak where you want them to and not leak where you don’t 24/7

The wall, she was kicking the wall trying to stay awake but she has kicked my boob before so I understand my phone’s confusion. #momlife #parentinglife #breastfeeding #bfing #autocorrect - #regrann (at The Village Midwife, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QiVIeAWUJ/?igshid=1uz0ta4m93afk

I need some momma advice!

Bedtime has been rough which is to be expected with a newborn, but I’m feel like I’m either doing something wrong or setting myself up for failure.

Easton is a pretty decent sleeper for his age I’d say (4 weeks) but it’s getting him to sleep is the hard part. It goes a little something like this:

I’ll feed him (I’m exclusively bfing or trying to) he’ll fall asleep, I put him in the bassinet, he wakes up crying, the only thing that calms him down is putting him back on the boob... the repeat 10000 times until finally he is asleep for good.

At first I chalked it up to cluster feeding, but now I’m not so sure... and I feel as if I’m possibly being used as a human pacifier. Should I be worried he’s becoming dependent on nursing to be able to sleep or is he too young to worry about that kinda thing? Is there something I’m missing or is this normal for his age??

Pretty amazing year! I weaned my 3 year old; spoke at a few breastfeeding conferences; attended a few more; met some lactation pioneers, rock stars, and worker bees; helped to normalize breastfeeding, legitimize our support group; began working with an amazing company, became a @breastfeedingusa Board Member and an #IBCLC. So much more to come in 2017! @usbreastfeeding @bstarsmemphis @support_rose #bfing #blkbfing #normalizebreastfeeding #normalizebfing @membreastfeeds

"A baby nursing at a mother's breast... is an undeniable affirmation of our rootedness in nature. "
