Anybody else struggling with the temptation of formula?

[Inbl00m]

5 weeks into bf DD and I'm mentally struggling. We've been lucky in that it's been pretty straighforward - she has a good latch, no tongue tie, etc. - and it's stopped being painful now, but she feeds on average 16 times a day. It's relentless. The formula alternative is sooo tempting. Has anyone else either switched or got past this stage to a better place with bf?

Are you definitely sure she's not got a tt? She may be feeding so often because she's struggling to get enough in at each feed.

But, yes, it is hard. But it does get a lot easier very soon. Apart from anything they get much faster at eating!

I know you are struggling now but just try to relax into it. Bf'ing is at least an excuse to sit down and not do anything else. Read a book, watch a film or doze. Trust me you won't get the chance again after she's a bit older!
