DD is nearly 4 weeks old and although my health visitor has told me not to express and give DD some in a bottle, I need to for my own sanity.
The last 4 nights DD has been crying to be on the breast from about 5pm (it was 7pm) until aprox 4.30am (it was 1am -2am) I think she may be having a growth spurt.
I need to be able to get some sleep, once she has gone off to sleep she doesn't wake but by that point I cant sleep.
I wanted to be able to express so DH can give her some ebm and I can maybe get a bit of sleep.
I broke down early this morning and I feel like I'm such a failure as a mum as bf'ing is going great but she just wants to feed all the time and I cant seem to cope.
I have to sleep downstairs so DH can get some sleep so he is fit for work.
So I know I'm not supposed to give her ebm, but what pump would you recommend, I'm going to go out and get one today.
TIA
