ClareWeeval: is everything ok?

I posted a few notes in your earlier thread, and would love to know if things are going well now.

Sorry tiktok I became so exhausted I switched the laptop off thanks for your concern. She still poohed only every 48 hours and has cried continually and kept the feeding pattern of every hour for 40 minutes and only has had one 2-3 hour sleep. Phoned birth centre and spoke to different midwife, who told me to give myself and babe and break and give her some formula. She has seemed more content since lunch time and being given formula. I feel heart broken that I don't seem to be able to breast feed.

Thanks for your concern. I'm not sure what to do I want to do what is best for her and breast feeding doesn't seem to be it.

I understand completely ClareWeeval, I've only recently turned to formula myself and gave myself a hard time about it. But i wasn't supplying enough for her with my breast milk, so decided to do top ups with bottles.
My hv was ever so good about it and said that she thought I wanted someone to turn around and say that it's actually ok to do it and that my dd would actually be fine.
You've got to do what's best for the both of you and try not to pressurise yourself.
good luck.
