Thank you x
Just a quick message to say a big thank you to everyone for their help and replies with my bfing problems recently.
I've come to the decision tonight to switch to formula, after feeding Lucy from both breasts and then her guzzling down 6oz straight after it's obvious she's not getting enough from me. It's really been getting me down so i'm already feeling like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. I don't want to struggle on getting more and more upset by seeing her so hungry and upset. We've made it to 3 and a half months and i'm so proud of myself for getting this far, i was ready to give up when my milk came in, but continued thanks to the fab support of my wonderful hubby.
Thanks again (Big big thanks to Amy xxx)

he is 7 months and is thriving on formula. his immune system seems great as he's never even caught our colds over winter, i feel much happier and oh enjoys the closeness of feeding him!

Last week was horrendous, she screamed all week and wouldn't nap, just cried. I thought it was her teeth but now i feel terrible that it might have been because she's been so hungry.
It was a difficult decision to make but i feel so much better seeing her contented (and full!) x
Happy baby = happy mummy!

Im glad she is back to her happy self for you xx
You know where I am if you need me, you have to do what makes you both happy!
Food is food whether it comes from a bottle or boob it does not matter! You have done so well so be proud of yourself.
I am glad she is more contented and is napping again she must be getting what she needs, Amber was exactly the same I just wasn't enough and I am so proud of the 3months I fed her for, b'feeding is not easy.
