Hi All,

I have just given birth to a big hungry boy one and half weeks ago and now I am struggling with breast feeding him. When it comes to feeding, he is a typical rester. He likes to nurse a few minutes and then rest a few minutes. It's completely nip-and-nap. At nights, it's kind of all right as I choose the side-lying position and nap with him. But in the daytime, I feel like I am doing absolutely nothing but feeding him and at the end of the day he is still not satisfied. At the moment my husband is taking weeks off to support me so I can get something to eat and go to the loo...but i can't imagine when my husband goes to work, what am I going to do with him...I have tried all my stillberatung's advice to wake him up but nothing seems to work so far...

I am here crying for help. Has anybody got experience of feeding a rester? I appreciate all your advice..

Many thanks in advance..

a desperate new mum
