I'm laying on my bed, with the laptop next to me... I'm all wiped out. Started feeding Valerie at 3pm... usually it would be a 10min feed on each breast, then followed by a 5-10min burp (burping time isvery dependant on how long it takes for Valerie to burp and we're still struggling with getting her burped each time). We then take a break by changing her diaper. Valerie would usually have fallen back to sleep after the first breast, therefore it is also a perfect way to wake her up and get her ready for the next breast. We then continue with the other breast for another 10mins (sometimes less if she decides she's full and spits my nipple out!). That will be followed by another 5-10min burp. Usually she would have fallen asleep by this time and would be put to bed after the burp. But today, she decides to be a little more fussy and a little more awake. But this mommy does not have the energy to play with her.
On a normal day... all these will take about 1hr from start to finish. Today it took longer than usual...2hrs, but thank God this kind of a day does not come frequently, but it is one of those days that I wish there's another Daphnie.
