[quote=Anonymous]Drudgery is a good word. Its one of the reasons I never felt bad about buying cute clothes for my baby. I always thought i was such hard work that you should take little pleasures where you can. My baby was also a slow eater at that stage. Per recs., I would nurse every 3 hours (8 x per day) but each feeding part took up to 90 minutes. She would nurse slo slowly and fall asleep on the boob. She wasnt getting much food (did weighted feeds at the lactation consultants office) and I wasnt getting much sleep. I started working in pumps and she ate from the bottle much faster. But that turned into me exclusively pumping as she refused the boob bc the bottle was less work. In retrospect EP was WAY more work than nursing as I constantly had to be a meal ahead. I wish could go back to that 8 week slow stage make it through until she got better at nursing but the exhaustion was terrible. [/quote]
