Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to share a successful combi feeding story?
My DD is EBF and is 11 weeks. I have noticed in the past few nights that a shift has slowly occurred ; and she is now sleeping much better at night.
What I mean by that is that she will fall asleep "drowsy and awake" in her own bed at around 9pm (although it can take her 1/2h to do so lol, while I stay next to her to pop her dummy back in when it falls out) and that she will mostly go back to sleep after her nightly feedings (2am and 5am).
I am however still knackered from these nightly feedings, and I value my sleep almost above all else. I get so cranky when I'm tired, and feel like it impacts my mental wellbeing, and my daytime mothering also suffers... :(
Hence I think I would like to start introducing a bottle of formula for her 8pm feeding, to see if she can go longer stretches at night ; and maybe only wake once at night, instead of twice...
I know this is no guarantee ; but this is why I'd love to hear success stories from you :) Also, how to deal with the silly guilt I'm feeling about contemplating introducing formula?! :(
