In the first days you will be feeding constantly as the baby tells your boobs what it needs and they respond. But try not to see it as a bad thing. This the time you get to rest and put your feet up. You've just given birth so sitting is a good thing! It also very necessary for the baby to feel close to you. They have spent ever second of their existence close to you, hearing you and being a part of you. Then they a forced out in to a strange and scary place and they need to know you are still there. So feeding isnt just about food - it's about helping the to adjust to their new surroundings with out being too traumatised.
There are no rules about how long it takes. So long as you get some help checking he's on properly then you just need to go with the flow.
My evenings were stuck to the sofa for weeks and weeks but you know what, I really miss that time we had now that she's down to 2 feeds a day. Cherish every second hun
