Can't help but wonder....

If I would have a happier baby if I ff. had an awful day today. Harry has screamed and been really unsettled for a few days now. I put this down to his jabs. However today he has cried and fed none stop. E was on my boob for about 4 hours. Whenever he came off he screamed. Dh finally flipped and said let me give him a bottle and see. So he gave him a bottle of formula and Harry is now happy and sleeping in his Moses basket which I can't usually get him to do. I've worked so hard to bf and I'm really in a pickle about what to do for best. I wonder if I'm not doing the best for Harry xxx

Thats gotta be a worry hun. You have to do whats best for them. bf is good for them nutrition wise but is it good for them day to day? xxxx

It's completely up to you hun but as others who have switched to ff have said, having a baby is all about being able to enjoy your baby. Whatever you decide you have done fantastically getting this far with Harry. Every drop of your breast milk is a gift and if its time to call it a day you should feel proud that you have given your son the best possible start in life despite adversity! Xx

Maybe I should try a baba sling? He can feed all day then and I can still get my jobs done xx

On the flip side I know FF babies who are unsettled and absolute pickles. Have you got the winder weeks book? It details the baby's developmental stages and explains growth spurts and clingyness well. Xx
