@luv100 Oh mamas I totally get this! If I learned anything over the past 7 weeks with my little one is not to look at the clock to figure out if he’s hungry. Look at the baby. Our “test” is gently touching the corner of his mouth with a knuckle, if he roots towards your hand, he’s hungry. We also studied the different hunger cues and used them a lot when first learning about the little guy.
I remember being sooo frustrated too...and I still get that way not as much though. It got better once I just accepted the fact that my body/boobs were completely just surrendered to this little human as a dairy cow. Once you accept it, which is easier to do when you know it’s not permanent, somehow it’s easier.
Good luck mom. Pump some milk and make hubby give a bottle when he’s hungry at an interval less than 3-4 hrs so you can sleep a little. Wish I did that more.
I still kind of hate seeing my husband walking in the room holding the crying baby looking just so ready to dump him on me saying “he’s really hungry”, like it’s my problem. You’re frustration is at least 80% due to sleep deprivation.
