[quote=Anonymous]It's all a fog early on. Just when you get used to a newborn pattern it changes. BFing doesnt just happen so dont be dissapointed if it isnt working/becomes easier until week 8 or so. You will be pumping and nursing every 2 hours to get your supply if that's the road you choose. A good 30 mins of that time is spent cleaning your pump parts so get extras. Let your DH do a bottle feed in the middle of the night so you can get a 4-5 hour stretch in the beginning. It will make a big difference in that feeling of "where am I and did I put underwear on today?" Eat. Dont be afraid of coffee. Freeze some meals in the last few weeks so you're not overwhelmed/stressed by simple tasks like cooking. Anything you can do to make your time with the baby easy and not stressful will help. Minimize your stress and let your DH handle the lion share of house stuff while you and baby establish BF.[/quote]
