I want thoughts on exclusive pumping then bottle feeding.

I wanted so much to breastfeed my daughter, but she wouldn't stay awake. I had all different nurses trying to wake her to eat, but she wouldn't. When she finally would wake she wouldn't keep a latch. I was told my nipples might be to big for her mouth. They are close to a a sizable of a quarter round.

I got home and was hurting so bad so I took a shower which helped, but not long. So I started pumping. I'm pumping now every 2-3 hours and getting between 2-5 ozs each time.

I'm hoping this will last at least 3 more weeks until I go back to work. I will still try to pump, but my work isn't where I can stop and pump.

So just wanting thoughts on this.

I would pump and freeze. also try the breast for each feeding then offer bottle. I'm thinking eventually she will get the hang of it and you can exclusively bf

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

lillyb Good job giving ur self a break we all need them. See if maybe she will nurse
delete____ I have to commend you for stepping away, momma!! Everyone reacts to a child screaming differently and
imisssleep123456789 Ugh I remember those days. With both kids I decided to always top them off with formula.
