It's really odd! i breast fed dd (now 2 half yrs old!) no probs, really enjoyed it!, dd fed really well and generally found it easy as pie!...so naturally i assumed it would be plain saiiling with next babe.

So here we are... 1 month old ds and i'm ready to give up!! ds seems to be a real snacker... also! he is an awful vomity babe... so we can feed for 10-15 mins only for it to come back up again after 10 mins.... is it all worth it i ask myself? i don't think it's reflux as he doesn't seem upset by the vomit... only me as i'm permanently covered in sick and the washing machine is always on!!! but i guess what i'm venting out here on mumsnet is that i can't believe i was so happy to b'feed dd until she was 13 months! but here i am... 1 month on and thinking of introducing a bottle of formula in the evenings... just to give me a break... ds seems to go through a 'difficult' time in the evenings... where he is so fighty and cross when feedinf... popping on and off... latching on and the screwing up his face and bawling as if i promised him chocolate and he's got the opposite (can't think what to insert there... brain turned to mush now!) i seem to be permanently fighting with him in the evenings trying to feed... we've given him a couple of expressed breast at night and has taken to that no probs....

so i guess what i'm asking... all you wise ones out there is... should i try to keep up the bottle of express in the evenings... is it too early for formula...? i feel a tad guilty for even thinking firmula... even though i know if boob feeding is not for me this time i should just move on and stop fretting.....

does any of this make any sense? sorry or boring you all!

looking firward to hearingyour views...
