My gorgeous little boy is just over four months old and although he's just perfect, feeding has been nothing but trouble right from the start. I'm really proud that we've kept going with it but I don't think its going to last. I just can't put him through it anymore.

I've mainly had trouble feeding him on the right bb. I had mastitis in it twice and problems latching him on. Now, he's completely refusing to take it. I can't even get his head near the boob but when I put him onto the left side, he sucks away!! I've tried every single position under the sun to get him to take the right side but he just wont have a bar of it. I even expressed out of the right side only and he wouldn't take it - so I don't know if the right side can 'taste' any different?? When I express from both sides, he'll take it. So strange.

Just lately, he's also started refusing the left boob - to the point where I've had to express and give him ebm in a bottle - which he takes no problem at all.

BF is just a nightmare for us and always has been - poor Luke screams until he can hardly breathe and I can't put him through it anymore. I don't know if anyone has any other suggestions - I feel like I've tried everything. He'll take the bottle without a problem though, it's amazing. I just don't think he likes the boob - which is really quite upsetting for me.

I guess we'll be looking into getting him onto formula as I'm worried that expressing alone will bring the mastitis back. If we do go down the road of weaning him now - how do I stop my massive milk supply???? Its all very confusing!!

Thanks.
