......dual feeding?
I posted a while ago about the fact that I have to top Matilda up after Ive breast fed her at the time she was feeding from one breast then the other side at the next feed.
Now shes having both breasts plus a top up at times!
She was weighed again on wed and shes 10lb 4oz and HV over the moon with that so BF is working but I am still having to top her up several times a day.
Most of the time she will feed from both sides and still be hungry, so I try and put her back on but she gets sooo irrate she wont settle then I end up topping her up with ready to use carton milk.
HV said this is completely fine to do and as long as Matilda is feeding and gaining weight then carry on doing what Im doing....
So I was wondering is anyone else dual feeding??? And whats your views on dual feeding?
Im not knocking those who chose to bottle feed but I feel pretty bad about topping her up when I am able to BF but cant get her settled enough to get her back on at every feed....
Thanks in advance xxx
