I find breast feeding soooo hard.
I've got four dcs, dc1 I fed for two days before giving up and moving to formula, dc2 I gave up after a week.
I was determined with dc3 not to give up,he spent his first week of life in the scbu because of juandice and not feeding,he took 5 weeks to latch on so was mix fed until about 15weeks, countless times of mastitis, in the end I fed him until he was two.
Roll on to dc4, wouldn't latch on at birth so was cup fed ebm, latched on on day two, all was going well until my nipples became cracked and bleeding, I began expressing into a bottle for him to give my nipples time to heal, Ive been seeing a bfc to help with latch etc, she thought he might have a tongue tie, which he had snipped yesterday, now he won't latch on at all, just screams when I put him near the breast.
He is even having trouble latching onto the bottle since yesterday.
I'm at my wits end, I just want to enjoy the newborn stage as I know they grow up to fast.
Sorry this is long, I just needed to rant.
