give up breastfeeding???????

How did it go Roxy?

Please don't despair & give up breastfeeding. I have had the same situation with my baby girl Jazmyn who is now just over 4 months old. I'm not saying this will be an overnight cure for you as I'm still betting to grips with it myself. Firstly you need to make sure that you husband will support you 100% as it's tough going and you have to clear your schedule as best you can as this does take some time. Secondly you have to have a definate structure for baby for this to work. During the day the structure is feed play sleep and at night it's feed bath sleep. It's a technique called the shushing technique. Make sure you take all toys out of cot and take down any mobiles. Once baby is showing tired sings you wrap them in a muslin, put them on their side hold them there and to settle them you shush & pat them for 15 mins. If baby is still not settled you pick them up for a cuddle with no eye contact & once calm put them back in cot on other side & repeat process. Once settled roll baby onto their back to sleep. If they wake you go back in & repeat the process again. I was told to allow at least 3 weeks before you see any results. We had results within the first week and Jazmyn has slept through a couple of times but we still have a long way to go. I know it's better than what I was doing and I'm slowly getting my sanity back. Good luck Roxy & let me know how you go.
