I feel you. I've been doing the same for 3 weeks. My baby can't latch properly and hurts me so I have to feed ebm, burp him, change diapers, pump, wash up, sterilize etc. Hardly any rest. And ya, my lochia also turned bright red since last week. My mum helps me in the day but somehow I still don't get much rest. Been surviving on 2-4 hrs rest each day. All the washing and massage (to clear engorgement) has taken a toll on my fingers and hands too, as though rheumatism has already strike. Looking forward to the day he can latch and feed directly so that can cut down on the things to do. Hope we get there soon.Yes, im so exhausted.. my hubby works so ive been doing almost every feed since a week and half ago. I get like 1 hr then another 2 hours of sleep every night.
My lochia has turned bright red again and i read its because i do not have enough rest. Wrist and knuckles are hurting like crazy and cannot bend in the morning. Dunno how im going to continue...
