So DD (8months) has been rediculously unsettled. Like beyond even her normal far from perfect self. She has been feeding sometimes every hour through the day, and at night she is waking sometimes every 2hrs and up for anywhere between 25mins to 1hr. I'm totally exhausted. I have been trying to express but haven't really been able to as I constantly feel empty. This morning I pumped for about 40mins (both sides) and got not quite 50ml, a month or 2 ago I would have got at least 100ml but more likely 140-150ml.

I'm wondering if I you think formula top up or night feed would make a difference? I'm worried my milk is drying up. Although when she is finished feeding I can still hand express some out easily so I know she is getting enough. She doesn't really sleep through the day. Maybe 2 x 20min naps if I'm lucky.

So, is it bad if I just try her on some formula? What's your honest opinion. I don't want to give up BFing and can't believe I'm considering formula (no offence to anyone!!), but I seriously just feel like I need a break.

My other question is, is berocca ok to take while BFing? Or any other pick me up's you can suggest? It is my best friend who is like a sister to me and treasures MIss Z so much, is having her 21st party tonight and I have no idea how I'll make it past 8pm hahahaaaa

Thanks in advance BB friends.

... Forgot to mention that she is on BLS but does have some puree, she is getting a decent amount of food at least twice a day now, sometimes 3 times and then some snacks often throughout the day. We just go at her pace and daily appetite.
