DS is 10 weeks old in 2 days.Was being BF with one formula feed a day.Gaining weight well and pooing-peeing well.The problem is he is constantly snacking and snoozing.He doesnt sleep well because he is hungry but then is too sleepy to feed.I am so exhausted.Havent slept well since god know how many days.Every night, the pattern is like this-feed at 10.30, sleeps till 2.After that wakes up at 3,4,5 and 6 crying and will quieten only if given the breast.Feeds for 2 minutes, falls asleep.I am shattered.Had a massive row with dh today for no apparent reason.He is so wonderful. i am always irritable due to lack ofsleep andgetting depressed.
Will switching to formula make my life easier?I am a doctor, so know all the benefits of BF and feel so guilty to want to do this.But I am not enjoying BF but feel so pressurized to continue.Am I being a bad mother?
