back to breast after bottle?
My Lo is now 4weeks old & unfortunately after 2 weeks of breast feeding I had 2 bottle feed due 2very painful mastitis & then thrush..not 2mention the cracked very sore nipples. This really upset me & has been gettin me down as I was adamant I was going 2 BF. I have kept expressing even tho she has formula as well but can only manage 2 express 2/3 times a day. I went 2 a group 2day at my local sure start &every mum bar me was BF. This made me feel awful. I came home then2 try &latch on my Lo which 2my surprise she did & fed 4 at least 5minutes..I had expressed just a little b4 2help her a little but after the 5mins she started 2really cry &my partner ended up giving her 2 bottles of 90mls which she guzzled! I don't mind if I end up mix feeding but I wud really like 2 b able 2 BF her again..any tips or advice wud b greatly appreciated xx:\?

You could get a nursing supplementer from Medela. One of the girls on here told me about it recently. Not used it myself but looks like it would be perfect for you. Google it for more info!!! Good luck x

Keep having lots and lots of skin to skin contact, and also let your baby suckle just for comfort, not just when she needs feeding. I hope that is of some help i've got to dash off but let me know how things go and if you need any more help xxxxxxxxx
Good luck!!!!
