Hi all.
My first son is now almost 6 weeks old. We started off ok on the breast but after the first 24hrs he started fussing and refusing to feed. We were still in hospital at the time and were cup feeding formula top ups. On day 3 he took a cup top up and practically fed himself he was so hungry. So we made the decision to express and bottle feed.
I have been expressing ever since with at least two ff a day, usually overnight.
Is anybody else pumping rather than direct breastfeeding? Would be good to hear your stories and offer each other some support xx
