Feeding is not a natural easy thing for everyone. I am going to try not to turn this into too big of a untrue rant but I just wanna scream. Nothing seems to fall into place right now. Even my poor husband is at his wits end on what to do to feed Euphemia and save my feeding equipment.
Seems like that takes up the whole day. We are so lucky to have such an understanding boss. David is going to come home periodically throughout today and we are going to have a go at feeding her.

Unfortunetly Emma closes her mouth too soon and we have to fight her hands. Swaddling just doesnt work as she is too strong and independent for that.
She still makes us smile. She still has her loveable moments. But when it comes to feeding, it better be here and now! Goodness girl, Mama needs a bit of a break!!!!!!!!!!

Challice, are you swaddling her TIGHTLY? We were able to swaddle Alyssa until she was 3 months old and she was very strong. Just thought I'd mention that :) It's supposed to be really tight so that they can't move their arms at all.
Aside from the breastfeeding issues, adjusting to a newborn's feeding schedule is a huge thing. I only BFed for 2 weeks and then switched to formula (I think I've told this story to you already...) Anyway, learning to SIT and FEED Alyssa around the clock and not being able to get up and do what I wanted, when I wanted was a major adjustment. It took me quite a while to slow down and not feel like I was completely climbing the walls everytime it was time to feed her.
