I'm a new mother of a 6 week old girl. My partner is a uni student and spends most of his time at uni, the gym or working at home. I'm struggling with confidence at the moment and feel like i'm losing the will to live. I do all the feeds so that my partner can rest and relax as he settles into university. LO has thrush on her tongue and is struggling to feed so dribbles all the time and it's so frustrating. She's having plenty of wet and dirty nappies but I'm so worried about her. She's gaining weight slowly but the HV is happy with it.
I don't feel confident to bottle feed her in public as she just dribbles all the time. I don't have many friends and don't talk to anyone except my partner and family. it's so hard at the moment and I don't know what to do. I feel so guilty because I get frustrated when she dribbles all her milk down herself. Sometimes I even wish she was older and able to be left to her own devices. Am I a bad mother? Please help :/
