Advice on transition to bottle

DD2 is 2 weeks old, and I'm finding bf just really difficult and I've realised it's getting me down. It was like this with DD1 and I transitioned after 5 weeks but can't remember how I did it! Any advice? I'd feel so much more confident and relaxed if I could get her on the bottle.

Can't really remember as my DS is now 11 but I mix fed very happily, just offered the occasional bottle and it wasn't rejected. Have you actually offered your baby a bottle yet?

Yes she's been having a bottle last thing at night and took it fine. I guess I can just gradually give more bottles?
