expressing how soon HELP
Hi my daughter is just over a week old. I've been breastfeeding her well but am struggling at night as she wants feeding constantly does anyone know whether its too soon for me to start expressing and giving her a bottle at night? I asked my midwife about topping her up with formula but she said this upsets their stomachs. Please help x

Stick with it though, it really does get easier after the first few weeks and they settle into a pattern of feeding more in the day (it may sound obvious, but the more you can feed her in the day, the less she will need at night!). Even if you were to top her up with formula she would still end up being hungry and then you have all the fuss of sterilising bottles, warming milk etc.
