I seriously need some help/advice about BFing and FFing. I am feeling quite torn right about now. I hope you all don't mind me asking about this.

I am currently BFing my boys but am really struggling. I'm having attachment issues with one of the boys and the other one is only getting the fore-milk and is suffering from only getting that and not the hinemilk. It gets unbearable to try to settle him. My husband works away from home so I am on my own with two newborn babies and finding it very hard at the moment as far as feed time goes. I am in two minds right now. Part of me desperately wants to hang in there with BFing as I keep getting told that it is better for them than FFing. My DH is also a huge BFing fan and a bit against FFing. I honestly don't really enjoy BFing though (not that my enjoyment should matter, it is all about what is best for my little men). I have been expressing all day yesterday, last night and today and bottle feeding them EBM rather than putting them on my breast. I have much preferred feeding them by bottle. It's so much easier and quicker and I am not in pain with it. Last night I gave them a feed of Formula at 7pm and they didn't wake for their next feed until 2am. Usually they are every 3 hours on the dot. Since doing all of this, they have been a lot more settled and easier to deal with. This afternoon I tried BFing them again and since then they have been very unsettled. It is soooo hard at the moment. I really don't know what to do.

I guess what I am asking is what did or what are you all finding works best for you. I really want them to get the goodness of the breast milk but I am really struggling with the BFing. Who has used formula and did you have any trouble with it? Any advice, tips, stories - ANYTHING will be of great help.

Sorry for the total me post.
