Woke up because the baby was crying and seemed hungry which is legitimate because he hasn't eaten…

Woke up because the baby was crying and seemed hungry which is legitimate because he hasn't eaten anything since about 3 a.m., and at that time he only had a few sips. Well, when we woke up this morning the same thing happened again he only wanted to have a few sips and not drink a full meal. I honestly think he's getting bottle and nipple confusion and now he seems to prefer the bottle. I'm really stressing out about it because I don't know how to reverse it or maybe he's just not hungry? But he has to be because he hasn't eaten in a while.😟 This is really stressful. I never even wanted him to use a bottle in the first place, but the fact that he was in the NICU prompted that to happen. So, the next best thing that I could do was to pump for him while he was in there. And now, the doctor wants me to give him pumped breast milk anyways at least a few times a day so I can mix the rice cereal into the bottle to help his acid reflux. I also give him his vitamins in his bottle. So I don't really have much choice. I don't even have a regular hospital-grade breast pump anymore. I only have the hand pump that I got from the hospital, which is the Medela one and the little hand pump that I got from WIC. Those hurt bad. So, it's hard for me to continue pumping even when I need to. 😧😧

Awe momma sounds stressful. I went through similar things with my daughter. Unfortunately she's on straight bottle and formula now. Not sure if it's easier or not. And yes the hand pumps can make your nips feel so sore!
