I am having problems with breast feeding and have really tried even when i am in agony but Charlotte doesn't feed "well" and it can take so long to do one feed, she never stays latched on for long, falls asleep and thats just part of the problem. I have tried everything to keep her awake etc but anyway after a lot of discussion we decided to introduce a bottle of formula at night and to do part and part for a while with maybe 3 bottles and see how it goes.
I know this isnt recommended and i feel really guilty and keep beating myself up over it but we hve to do what is best for us and i want to enjoy her being tiny.
For those of you who bottle feed do you take the advice of making up one bottle at a time? That is our plan but we are thinking for the middle of the night feed (which i might introduce by bottle) she wakes up and is screaming for food this will be very difficult by the time we have made up the feed. What do you do?? I want my husband to be able to sleep as he is back at work and needs to concentrate for his job. He is also going to do the 10-11ish feed so i can get some sleep.
Sorry this is a long post!
Any thoughts appreciated
