Oh my! Breastfeeding Nathan was a walk in the park compared to Brian. Brian has gained almost a pound in only a week. That's good but I am dying! I honestly don't know what to do. He doesn't stop eating. I thought there was a problem with my milk supply so I decided to pump. I pumped only an ounce on the side he didn't feed on and a little less than 1/2 an ounce on the side he did feed on. I gave that to him later and he was still hungry, so he ended up also feeding on both sides. That feeding took at least an hour if not longer. I honestly don't think he was comfort sucking. I still had some milk left after he finally crashed.

The feeding nightmare usually occurs mostly at night. Last night, he feed from 2:30 am to 3:45 am (not counting every two hours before). I burped him quite a bit in between because he gulps a lot of air while feeding. At 3:30 to 4:30 he slept and then woke up at 4:30 ready to feed again. I have tried a pacifier but that doesn't work. He spits it out and starts to root again.

Help! Can anyone relate? I go back to work part time in three weeks and I honestly don't know how I will be able to do it if I don't get at least a few hours of sleep a night.
