I'm in the same boat! BF is very hard in the begining, but once they start to eat regular foods and not BF for all there meals it will get easier! Hang in there!

Re: Why is breastfeeding still not getting easier at 8 weeks?
mine was never a long feeder, just fed for 8 minutes every hour.
The pain went away at 8 weeks, but yes, still time consuming.
I know its a different ballgame when you already have #1 running around.
Is it possible to pump 2 bottles at night? then rely on that while you are out?
sorry about the sleep situation, hopefully that changes soon.

Re: Why is breastfeeding still not getting easier at 8 weeks?
I struggled for a while. DD was a lazy eater (fell asleep at the breast) and would want to nurse every two hours or even less. That combined with extremely sore nipples made me miserable but it got easier. It WILL get easier for you too. Hang in there. I can't imagine doing it with a toddler running around. You're doing great.
