My DD is 14 weeks and has been bf exclusively apart from one ff at night. For the last two weeks I have been experiencing real problems breast feeding. I think it might be down to low supplies although reading threads here I realise this might not be the case. Milk supplies definitely get lower throughout the day, and at the same time dd gets more and more angry/frustrated during feeding. Let down is slow initially and she will bob off and get v angry. once milk is flowing she will feed for 3 mins, then get angry until we change sides. she then refuses to try to suckle more but is clearly still hungry as sucking fingers furiously and crying. I have given in on late afternoon feed and top up with bottle, but do express so that my milk supply won't go down. I do wonder whether once of the reasons my supply has gone down is that she is really interested in the world around her and gets distracted easily - had a couple of days when she hardly fed at all (then woke at around 5am to do a huge catch-up feed - although has generally been sleeping through since 6 wks, lucky i know!).
Anyway, my prob is that I have a two year old so really don't have time to commit to expressing/ skin to skin/ taking time over feeds etc as we are out and about. I'm sad about the idea of dropping breast feeding, esp as I found it so easy and enjoyable with DS, so was wondering whether I could think about giving bottles during the day, and breast feeding first thing in morning and last think at night. Is mixed feeding poss of would milk supply go down further? any tips/ suggests most welcome.
