Hi girls. Haven't been on for ages and think this is my first thread outside of tri3! My little lady is keeping me VERY busy!
She is 5 weeks old tomorrow and I have been Breast feeding her. However, for the last week I have been combine feeding because i just couldn't fill her. I was so tired and getting down so figured breast feeding and topping up with formula was the way forward as at least she is still getting some breast milk right?!
Tonight I started breast feeding her at 4:30. She fed for a total of an hour and 15 minutes!! She then screamed the house down until I gave her some formula. She took 4oz of formula!
I just can't get my head around how she can feed for so long and then have so much formula! I'm sure she would still have taken more given the chance.
She is really grumpy at the minute, trying to get her in to some sort of a routine but it doesn't help when I can't seem to fill her!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
