I'm seriously considering switching DS3 (now 1 month old) completely over to bottles.
We had a 'blip' with the breastfeeding about 1 week ago so gave him a few bottles as he wouldn't latch on (he was getting hysterical over it) since then he's improved again and latches on brilliantly (even on the right side which he's not really been interested even since he was born).
DH and I agreed to mix feed him, bottle just before bed, and another middle of the night - then I'd have him in bed with us when he woke early morning to breastfeed him - which has been working well. He still won't take a bottle properly from me (though we're getting there) but when he does he seems much more settled (whether it's just expressed breastmilk or formula) and is easier to put down for a sleep/nap.
I DO enjoy BF - especially early morning in bed with us, but tbh (and this is what I'll probably get most flamed for) I'm finding it a real drag during the day and early evening and somewhat starting to resent (not sure if that's quite the right word) it.
Also I was hoping to be able to express enough milk to be able to make his Formula feeds up 50/50 or perhaps enough for a complete feed but I'm only getting 2 or 3 oz out at a time (despite still soaking breastpads during the day).
DS1 was breastfed for 14 months, DS2 for 5 days and DS3 fully for 3 weeks, and about 1 1/2 weeks of mix feeding.
Has anyone else deliberately made the decision to stop breastfeeding this early despite having no problems with the breastfeeding???
