Thanks MantaRay! I heard just about everything with DD from she may have a touch of jaundice (paed ruled out), to she's a lazy eater, to she only wants enough to take the edge off her hunger that's why she won't stay on to finally the flat nipple thing. I did use a nipple shield with her and that was OK but on being discharged from hospital, the 'regime' they had us on (nipple shield, formula then express) took 2.5 hours and I was meant to feed her every 3-4 hours because she wasn't back to birth weight. So that was a bit impossible once DP went back to work plus I could barely move because I've had a dodgy pelvis since Week 28. Oh woe is me!

But having now gotten to know her better I would say it was a combination of things. She seems to go from not particularly interested in food to VERY hungry in two seconds flat. I think her impatience combined with a bit of trickiness with flat nipples just frustrated the heck out of her. And when she is feeding, she enjoys a good old look around which she couldn't do on the boob. So I think it was a combo.

Like I say, I am very happy (now) with my decision to go to FF with her but forewarned is forearmed for next time and from my limited dealings with ABA, I think they're fantastic!
