Feeding Frenzy

Our daughter is turning 3 weeks old today. Her cluster feeding has begun.

I knew it was coming, and I have been pumping milk to make sure she has enough supply if my breasts get sore.

She. Would. Not. Stop. I am so sleepy. I'm at my wits end. I've already cried a few times. Feeling sorry for myself. But, what else can I do? Soldier on. It will pass, I know it will. It should. Life cannot be so unfair to women, really. 

I get my snuggle reward and that warm fuzzy feeling inside, anyway. That is the bright side. I should focus on that. Oh my snuggles. I love my baby.

My leaky boob woke me up.

Today, I woke up not because our daughter was crying. I woke up because there was milk dripping from my chest through my shirt and onto our bed. It's like sweating but concentrated in one area. It was weird. I did not know it is possible to wake up from a leaking boob. 

What a waste of milk! I immediately pumped. :)
