Is there any way to go forwards from here?

DD was a tricky feeder from the very start and I really did try to get support with feeding but things seemed to get worse rather than better and now she just won’t feed at all, she just cries hysterically if I try to breastfeed her.

Part of me feels I should just accept the inevitable of formula feeding but I really really want to breastfeed and I am just wondering if there’s anything I haven’t already thought of that might solve this? She is 5 weeks.

Expressing milk as I type this thanks for asking. I’ve pretty much given up trying to breastfeed her.

Sorry to hear that. I hope the disappointment passes for you soon and in the meantime you get to enjoy lots of snuggles that are maybe a bit calmer if she’s content from a bottle. At least you know you’ve done everything you possibly could.

I'm sorry, that must be really tough for you.
