BFing DD has been a battle for 3 weeks now. On off on off on off and lots of crying in between :'( I have tried everything. It all started after her vaccines. I literally feel like I'm in the newborn phase again and getting absolutely nothing done because if she's not on the boob, she's crying or fussing because she's hungry. I'm trying to pump when I can but really struggling to find the time anymore. DD's weight has always been an issue so have been giving formula top ups when I haven't pumped enough.
To be honest, I feel horrible saying this but I dread hearing her wake up because I know it'll just be another battle until she falls asleep. I used to enjoy BFing so much and felt like it was a beautiful bonding experience and now it's a total nightmare. I really do miss the peaceful feeds.
How much longer do I give this before throwing in the towel? We had a lot of issues with BFing at the start and I worked so hard to get it right. It was all going well until these last 3 weeks. I don't want to give up but I really can't take this stress for much longer.
