Hi, I am looking for advice or support as I don't know what do. My DD is 5 weeks old and has been feeding constantly through the night since 5pm yesterday. She is EBF. She has also been screaming at the breast and coming off during feeding. This endless feeding has been going on for some time. Some days are ok but the bad days far outnumber the good. At the moment I am hating breastfeeding, my nipples are sore, I haven't had any sleep and I think I am spiralling into depression. I think I am going to have to give up breastfeeding. I don't know if this is cluster feeding or if she is just starving. I have been going to a few local breastfeeding groups, they make me feel more positive for a short time but things are not going well and I am mainly sat on the sofa crying. My baby doesn't always latch properly and even when she is she makes a clicking/sucking sound. I have really tried my best with breastfeeding but it might time for me to stop. I feel like a failure and that people will judge me for formula feeding.
