Ds is just over 3 weeks, have had a crappy start to bfing- bad latch, tongue tie, still painful with nipple shields. Normally dp helps out with feeds and gives a bottle of ebm at 9pmish (or whenever he's hungry around then) and 6amish.
Everyday from 3ish ds gets really agitated and will want to feed constantly, over the last couple of days my nipples have been so raw when dp has come home from work I've had to give ds a bottle of expressed milk. Because I've been so busy constantly bfing ds through the day I've started to fall behind with ebm, and for the evening feed dp has given him a bottle of formula. HV said this should be fine but I've noticed today ds has been so fussy again since 3ish, crying on both breasts, doing quick sucks and light fluttery sucks and doesn't seem to be doing much of the usual gulps. He keeps falling asleep and when I try to put him down or burp him he cries and roots like crazy... Am I running out of milk??
