So by her pulling on my boob she is trying to get a let-down? I thought once let-down happened that it didn't stop during a feed? I know when i express that when I have let-down my BB goes very warm and then it just flows till it's empty, i assumed the same when she is feeding.

Maybe I'm not 100% relaxed do you think which is why let-down not happening? I know it does when she first attaches because I can hear her guzzling the milk rapidly.

With the heat I was thinking the increased feeding was her being thirsty. She had some short feeds today, but mainly because she was screaming so I offered her the BB and she took it, not sure if she was actually hungry or just taking advantage on the offer.

I managed to express 50ml tonight and I'll try again before I go to bed. She is asleep now so I'll see if she sleeps through or if she wakes. If she wakes during the night I'm going to assume she is having her growth spurt, which i did suspect earlier, but if she sleeps through could i assume that the 100ml FF has filled her up and maybe the other feeds haven't been?

Just such a confusing thing this whole BF situation. I'm so happy that I've been able to BF this long (even though only 4.5 weeks) as I had always prepared myself that I'd have troubles BF'ing (reason being I had a TERRIBLE pregnancy so just expected the worse case scenarios, plus I am quite a flat chested woman and just assumed I'd probably have issues). I know I won't BF forever and I was happy to make 4 weeks and i'll be even happier if i make 8 weeks but at the same time I love the closeness from BF'ing so will miss that, but not the stress and anguish from it. Some times I feel like just putting her on formula but then I feel like I need to at least do what I can to keep BF'ing. aaahhhh

As another question - would stress affect my supply dramatically??
