Hiya
Well after a few nights of Brody feeding for 20-30 minutes every 2 hours I decided to give him formula in the night for the first time last night.
I haven't felt like my boobs fill up for ages, and I think in the night he's feeding so much cos the milk just isn't there like it used to be.
He went down after a bottle at about 9pm, woke at 3.45am and drained a 6 oz bottle in one go! Then he slept until 7, when he had boob.
So.... I think this is it...tonight I think I'll have to take an 8oz bottle up to bed with me.
I'm kinda sad, I will miss it when I do eventually drop it totally...but at the same time I know he'll get more sleep if he has the milk in him, he's getting more flustered in the night when he stuggles to feed and I don't think it's fair.
I did want to carry BF on in the night for convenience until he slept through, but I don't think he'll do it on boob alone.
