My DS2 is 11 wks old and he is BF. We don't have a routine as such, he is demand feeding and I can see a pattern emerging. He is cluster feeding like fury in the evenings which I am starting to find tiring and he has reverted back to 2.5 hr feeding at night, whereas last week he was doing 3.5 to 4 hrs. What has happened? I am exhausted. DS1 is 4 and lively. I like BFing but am I at the next stage and should I bring in Formula?
I have all the stuff for expressing I did it at 5 weeks with DS1 and DS1 went onto a formula feed at bedtime. I am so reluctant to adopt the same practice with DS2, reasons? 1. The BF is generally going well (weight 8.7 at bith 12.10 now) and 2. I feel very attached to BF this baby, I know he will be my last.
I feel like I have lost my way a bit. Advice required. TIKTOK the BF lady, are you around?
