.... hour 5 of nursing with the longest break being 20 minutes. Please tell me this is a phase and it will be over soon...

and this is after nursing every 1-2 hours all day for extended periods of time.

Sounds like a growth spurt to me too. Hang in there thay are really rough but the do end after a few days.

OH yah, I had totally forgotten about that 6 week marathon feed.

This is when you prop your feet up, get comfy with the baby and your boppy and stream a few movies on Netflix...and don't forget to have a HUGE glass of water next to you all day today, k?

It'll pass soon...and then it'll be something else. Totally normal though.

Hang in there, everything at this age is "just a phase" that will eventually pass!  In fact, that could probably be said for the first three years, but I'm only on month 4. 

Ditto above... lots of water, plenty to watch on TV, and keep reminding yourself to stare at your baby and appreciate this age before it *poof* goes away.

It will pass. It so sucks while you're going through it. I wanted to quit SO badly. You can do this!

Sounds like R is doing some serious growing!  You're doing a great job, keep it up Mama!

Thanks for the support ladies! Luckily once he went to sleep at 2am he stayed asleep for 3.5 hours which is much longer than he normally sleeps at night. I love the bonding and cuddling but it can be hard sometimes! I don't think it helped that our house usually cools down at night but it was 78 inside at 2am. Yuck!
