    :hugs: Just wanted to say I understand how hard you must have it, although I was lucky enough to have DH here for support.
    Ive really struggled with BF, and Im so proud of each day/week/month that I make it. but I also understand that if I have to give it away (which has been medically advised) that a fed baby by any means is a happy baby.
    If you want to try bottles, maybe express for the night feed (I actually express one side and feed one side in the mornings, then use that for a bedtime bottle to help fill up DDs tummy, and so I can add nurophen for her teething)

    What a hard time you're having. It can be a particularly difficult age for sleeping, unfortunately. I doubt switching to formula would make much difference to you. To be quite honest - it might just end up making even more work for you, you know?

    It may be a developmental thing, or teeth, or both together. I was working full time at this age too - it's bloody hard and DS just needed boobies aaaaalll night. I hope you catch a break soon.
