My little boy is 5 weeks old and constantly hungry. He feeds every 1.5-2 hours at night but cluster feeds all day. I've tried using my little finger for soothing but he uses his tongue wanting food.
I spend most the day watching daytime TV & on off feeding so I think I'm getting lots of rest. (DB makes my lunch & does everything apart from feed after work so I'm very lucky).
But today I woke up with severe exhaustion, haven't moved from bed, shivering in a warm room, dizzy, feeling sick, aching all over.
Could it be my body's way of saying I can't keep with my baby's demand for food?
