How's everyone coping with breast feeding? I love it but the demand is just killing me. I'm so exhausted and my baby just wants to constantly feed day and night and be held constantly, so I'm getting hardly any sleep. I know with regards to breast milk supply it's not good to introduce formula but I feel the odd bottle is required to give me time to sleep. Further, the gaps are so tight between feeds that it's very difficult to express before he wants time boob again. Anyone else in this situation?

Hun I was the same Albie was feeding non stop I was so tired! So introduced one bottle s day of 4oz then trio bottles and now I still BF but he has a 5-7oz bottle every 2-3 hours and I between I feed him it never effected my supply he never got nipple confusion it took away the stress for me feeding on demand it was a nightmare when we was out and about etc I'm really glad I added in bottles I think because I done that I've BF for longer and probes will do as its not do stressful X
I did both from day 1... no problems no nipple confusion and to be honest I've had 3 babies this one is the most chilled out.. don't put too much pressure on yourself xx
@homely.mummy.no2, i had this issue with my boy.. i introduced a formula feed like mimibear did but the demand was too much for me and i wasnt filling up quick enough for him so now hes on formula.. i miss it soo much.. im considering trying to get the flow going again and re introduce it x
yep me!! was feeding on-demand and it's exhausting. I have introduced a formula feed at around 10-11pm so she sleeps a bit better at night X then she might have another one at 6-7am X means OH can do feeds and I can sleep a bit longer before she needs the next one x
I'm not planning to breast feed but would you ladies recommend breast feeding for the first time or straight onto bottles? Everyone keeps telling me different and I need advice! 😓
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Breast feeding is a full time job I really want to give up already 😢
Exclusively breastfeeding is stressful 😫. I'm so tired all the time but I want to wait to introduce bottles...I need encouragement! This was my goal from the beginning but it's all new to me so I just have to give myself time to adjust right? 😅
HELP. ASAP
Ladies, I was in the bathroom all night, I got ZERO sleep. I was constantly having to change myself all night. Every time I used the restroom, it looked like a crime scene in the toilet. Is this ER worthy? It's so much blood, idk what's happening to me but it's scaring me so much. I just wanna cry ? I cannot go to school like this and I don't want it to affect my schooling either. HELP me please ?
@holliesinead, thanks for sharing they. Makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to get some today. Fingers crossed it works for us too x
