Diddy is feeding C O N S T A N T L Y ...FFS
I don’t mean a feed every few hours... I mean 5 minute
snacks so that each feed lasts 2 hours and they all run into one another...FFS
This would be fine, except the past 2 weeks have been school
holidays, meaning Boo home all the time wanting things like food...FFS
Husbeast devised a plan – put out ALL her snacks at the
start of each day and let her help herself when she’s hungry... No FFS
This was a fantastic plan until we realised that 4 year olds
have no self control...FFS
She ate everything within an hour...FFS
5 minutes later, ‘Mummy, I’m starving’... Mofo FFS
Despite the constant feeding, thanks to my darling tiny girl
being a lazy sucker I’m fighting a constant battle with blocked ducts...FFS
She’s 6 weeks old. I’ve had 3 bouts of the dreaded
mastitis...FFS
Breastfeeding may be the best
option, but it sure as shit isn’t the easiest...FFS
Luckily, I managed to score the mother of all breast pumps
on eBay yesterday...No FFS
Someone else fought me like a demon to get it, but I won!
... No FFS
I may, however, have neglected the tiny screaming human for
4-5 minutes while I battled it out...FFS
Told myself it was better for her in the long run...FFS
My boobs hurt...FFS
We’re roadtripping to Melbourne to see one of my favourite
friends this weekend...No FFS
And to buy the baby things our little corner of the world
doesn’t seem to bother getting – ANYWHERE...FFS
3 kids, 3 hours in a car with no AC, Boo’s DS is dead... FFS
Bozo is going through a phase of antagonising me, his stepsister and everyone around him...FFS
I swear to God, I'll leave him on the side of the road...FFS
I’m stressing that Diddy won’t sleep in a strange
house...FFS
Likely she’ll sleep the whole damn night while I lay awake
stressing that she’ll wake at any second...FFS
Wish me luck! FFS!!?!
Aww congrats on diddy, so glad she stayed put for you!! My 9 week old is the same with the constant feeding!! My other 2 have survived on snacks for weeks now!! Good luck this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can empathise with this. My baby is nearly one and she still has bouts of constant feeding, especially when she has a blocked nose. Hang in there and I hope you can get some help! And some rest!
ReplyDeleteBloody mastitis does my head in - I had so often with No.3 and some idiot doctor told me to stop bfing!! Thank goodness I knew better, all I needed from him was antibiotics, I feel sorry for new mums who took his bad advice on board :(
ReplyDeleteI know what its like to have to roadtrip for basic baby stuff - really sucks when you cant even get a nappy in the town you live in. Hope the Breast feeding gets better I truly feel your pain.
