Edgarcat - I have been following your posts but not contributed as I felt there were others who could give you much better advice than I could. However, here goes with two contradictory theories My third child was exactly the same, and in the end I gave up and went to bottles and she settled almost immediately. Why? Who knows: HV's view was I was just too exhausted to feed properly (i'e for long enough at a time) and so the baby was unsettled. With No4, a bit of a surprise 7 years later, I was terrified that the same thing would happen. However, I found GF's book a godsend(please don't scream) because for the first time I understood what I was trying to do. I understood how much I needed to get in between 7 and 7, and boy!, did I make sure I did, even waking the baby if I had to. All I can say is that it worked, and she is the only one of mine to have been breastfed successfully (i.e to 5 months). To be honest, both approaches worked wonders, and so it depends how strongly you feel about breastfeeding. I know that 99% of people will encourage you to persevere, but don't beat yourself up if you decide that at 7 weeks its time to move on. The best of luck with whatever you decide.
