Hi, My gorgeous daughter is 9 days old and much to my surprise I have been able to BF and have enjoyed it. Before she was born I had it in my head that I wouldn't be able to do it - why - i don't know.
Whilst BF is going well I am experiencing some soreness and it feels painful, like her gums are digging in during the feed (latch issues?). I don't want to give up but I would like to introduce one bottle feed probably at night to let my husband have a go. How and when do I do this? Do i express or use a formula? Is it too early? Will i put the baby of BF?
She also won't sleep unless she is being fed at night which means I am tied to this feed, my husband would love to be able to do it. This is probably something I am doing wrong too isn't it? Letting her feed to sleep?
Im clueless and have had quite conflicting advice from the paediatrician and MW.
Can anyone give me any advice?
