Posting for traffic as I'm really starting to struggle.
Dd3 is 6 weeks old. She is exclusively breastfed however I have been trying to introduce a bottle of expressed milk since 3 weeks. She wasn't having any of it. I bought 4 different types and finally yesterday during the day she took to the Minbie and drank 2.5oz with no fuss. My reason for wanting to introduce a bottle is because of her constant cluster feeding every single night since day 3 from about 6 til midnight sometimes as late as 2am. I know they cluster feed to increase supply but I've got a really good supply and this behaviour is just not improving at all. She is also quite fussy during this time and sometimes really crying, not latching etc. She took the bottle no problem yesterday but totally screamed and refused it during the evening. She won't take a dummy.
Dd1 and 2 cluster fed but not to this extent and it's really becoming quite stressful not to mention exhausting. Generally when she finally goes down she sleeps for 3-4 hours but then is up 2 hourly after that. Obviously no time for naps in the day with 2 others under 4 and being back to (self employed and with baby) work.
Help!!!
