I need convincing!
I struggled A LOT in the early days to get bf established, but since then we've been ok.
Now that baby is weaning, I'm finding myself struggling again.
I think he's on some sort of nursing strike and I can't seem to get him to take 3 feeds a day from me. The most he seems to be taking is 2 good ones.
I am worried he's not getting what he needs and even though I've restricted his solids in an attempt to not wean him OFF milk or fill him up on them, nothing seems to be working. This is leaving me with a massive sore tit (one is teeny the other huge!) and super stressful times when I attempt to put him to the boob.
Will bottles now be easier? I don't know anything about ff so please, give me your arguments for sticking with bf....I need the boost. My husband thinks I've done enough now and to just put him on the bottle. But bf is so easy these days, or at least it was....now I can't feed in public or anything as he's so distractible and often just has a screaming fit at the breast.
Help me please!
