I have a beautiful 11 day old girl (my first) and I am a very stressed newbie mum. Can someone please give me their FF tips. I have been TRYING to BF but she has a receded chin and today and yesterday she has been very congested (the muggy weather into aircon no doubt).

Here are my newbie questions:

1) What is your FF routine each day ?

2) How can I help decongest bubby - she's not sleeping at all now cos she is so uncomfortable, she would normally sleep for 4 to 5 hours but now barely an hour

3) After washing in hot soapy water, I should sterilise and then put the completed bottles (without formula?) in the fridge. Then just take the empty bottle from the fridge to fill up with formula is that right?

4) How long does formula last in the fridge for?

5) How long should formula sit before I consider it 'discarded' - sometimes she needs a good burp or change before finishing the bottle.

6) I was told I should use a pacifier if FF to comfort her sucking reflex, is that best to do before or after feeding?

7) Is it wise to bath her while she is congested in an attempt to calm her down?

Sorry for all the questions ... I feel so incapable and tired and stressed, tell me it gets better please !!
