My usually contented 4 week old ds normally feeds for 25 mins or so every 2-3 hours.
This evening he has been feeding for the last 3 3/4 hours, of which he has spent the last 2 3/4 hours screaming in frustration as my boobs aren't refilling quickly enough for him. This is real feeding and not just comfort sucking and like a dyson he doesn't lose suction!
What would you recommend for the next time it happens?
I have thought of
a) earplugs
b) moving to the shed - just myself not him
c) giving him water
d) keeping a carton of formula in the cupboard for emergency use.
(Doesn't help that today DH set off on his motorbike to visit friends 200 miles away for a long weekend so I have no-one to tag-team with me for the screaming)
