DS is feeding constantly in the evenings and it is really wearing me out..have used all my expressed milk up and had AF this week so seem to be producing less milk too....have given in this evening, pathetic DH is out again and to get DS to settle and give me a rest i gave him a carton of prepared formula, he drank the lot and was out like a light.....does this mean my milk isnt enough for him to fill his tummy? he was tired and before i gave the formula he would fall asleep on the breast then wake as soon as i put him down, no stroking etc would calm him. with the formula he hasnt stirred....

in the day he is fine, alert and awake after feeds, feeds tils he stops himself, so what is wrong in the evenings? is it just cluster feeding and if so, am i not producing enough? in tears now as had stressful day and annoyed that had to resort to formula...

Oh yes the fingernails, they grow so fast, don't they?

You're doing great, it'll soon pass this stage
