Went back to work full time 2 weeks ago. Long commute - trying to move closer to work but sale still going through. Have ebf DD since birth. Have been expressing at work 3 times a day plus one express at 5am feed (as DD only takes one side). But DD drinking more than I can express and have used up last of the freezer stash.
Bit depressed as had hoped to ebf til 6m but nursery had to ask for more milk. DD getting thru x2 6oz bottles plus 2oz top up from 8am-1pm, then further 2x 4-6oz bottles at home with DH in afternoon. I am knackered and struggling to express enough to meet her needs. Know that mixed feeding Bm and formula is probably best option but feel like I've failed somehow.
Sorry for long post but feel so sad. I know I've done my best under the circumstances but can't help feeling guilty somehow.
