Sheree... I'm sorry to hear about all the problems you are having with BF. I really hope it sorts out for you... but don't feel guilt or anything like that if you have to give lachie some formula. He will still be a healthy baby, and he will be a happy baby, with a happy mummy. Do what YOU feel is right. If you want to breastfeed, then have a little break (if it's not working right now) - and go back to it. Or do both... BF & FF. He will get the best of both worlds! I wanted to BF - but Shaun was so stressed from it, which made me stressed. And with formula; I knew exactly how much he was getting and he didn't have to 'work for it'. I would have expressed if I could have done that - but my boobs were barren. I would try to express for an hour and be lucky if I got 20mls.
My step mum has just come back from the shops with more clothes for Shaun. she can't help herself! I don't think I've bought any clothes for him. Between presents & my step-mum he's got a huge wardrobe! I love the ones with 'wording' on them. Todays one was: 50% mummy, 50% daddy 100% cute! One I got the other week was "2am, my cot, bring a bottle". That should be on ACA tomorrow when I'm massaging him.
