[quote=Anonymous]Poor you! I clearly remember our first cluster feeding session - I was like WTF??? I think it was around 2 or 3 weeks. After 4 or 5 hours I sent my DH out to get some formula and pacifiers. We gave the baby two ounces or so, he passed out, and then we went on to have a successful breast feeding relationship until a year old. You need a lactation consultant or post partum doula to come to your house to help with positioning! You should not be in so much pain from the posture. It is also ok to do one bottle of formula at night so you can get a few hours of sleep, or you can try pumping once a day. A pacifier might work too although you do need to make sure baby is eating frequently enough for weight gain (whether that be nursing, formula, or weight gain.) Also try to get some extra sleep in the early am hours - have your dh take the baby. Consider hiring a baby nurse or get a trusted relative to help out holding the baby so you can sleep. [/quote]
