This is ringing true for me at the moment, I was so close to making up a bottle of formula last night / early hours of this morning.
Oliver just was not settling, now I know this is classed as cluster feeding, either that or comfort sucking due to his reflux. And I know that even a bottle of formula would not have made a difference but when I'm sitting there feeding AGAIN with tender nipples "what if" runs through my mind.

Takes a while but finally falls asleep again.
Then up at 4.30 to take DH to the airport... Not sure when he's back this time, flights next weekend are a bit pricey... Perhaps the following.
Now I know there is no advice for this but I so needed to get it off my chest... No need for a response just useless venting.
