since my baby girl was 10 days old, she's been having phases every day of constant feeding. It's really getting me down. I've not been feeling myself for days, feeling sick, anxious, and have lost my appetite. My friends put this down to hormones, but I just feel completely fed up with breastfeeding. Before 10 days, she was feeding every 3 hours of so, filling up, and settling well. Now she never seems to settle. I don't think that the hot weather is helping, but tonight me and my husband have basically decided to quit breastfeeding, we've just given her a formula bottle and she's crashed out!!! I feel so guilty for thinking about giving up so soon, and will try and see a breast feeding counsellor tomorrow, I just wondered if anyone else out there has had a similar experience and how you got through it/what you did. Has anyone tried mixed feeding? How does it work? My poor brain is spinning...!
