Nickers - It is more important that you and your baby are happy and that you are enjoying him. I had heaps of bf problems at the beginning and only bf for 2 and a half weeks. Ethan too screamed and pulled off all the time and he got so stressed. It takes a little time emotionally to get used to bottle feeding but I found it was the right decision for us. I feel for you. Take it easy and don't pressure yourself.

Hope you are all well this morning. We had a rough night. Ethan just keeps waking up. He will sleep for a while and then want comforting. I think he is constipated from the thickener in his formula for his reflux. He was so tired that he only drank 20mls this morning. Not too worried as he has drunk 120mls for every other feed for the last 24hrs (much better than the 40-60 mls on cows milk based formula).

Have a great day everyone.
