well i think this is my last thread as a breastfeeder
DD2 is 8 weeks and up to 4 weeks did what it says on the tin. then started feeding erractically. 5 - 10 min max, fussing in evenings, lots of farting, persistant white tongue which has not shifted after 4 weeks of nystatin and daktarin gel. she is pooing now every 2-3 days and its like a dark mustard paste.
last night she cried for 5 hours after having fed reasonably well throughout the day (every 2 hours for 5-10 min)....in evenings, however, pulling on and off the breast and only settled with a dummy - eventually - then fed well in the night.
some days she feeds well and no fussing in the evening but to be honest these days are overshadowed after a night like last night.
now week 9 tongue is still white tongue; still applying daktarin gel to her and cream to me and i am fed up. i am obviously no good for her (i.e giving her thrush which i think is making her unsettled) is formula the answer???? if yes how do i start, when and how much.
