Breastfeeding 4th child

[familygirl]

Struggling with 2 week old 4th DC feeding every 3 hours but each feed taking an hour and a half, never seeming particularly satisfied. Often falls asleep midfeed but awakens as soon as put in the cot. Just not sure I can continue this with 3 other children to look after - have given EBM in a bottle and this is quicker and DC seemingly more settled after a good bottle feed so have been thinking maybe formula is the way to go?

Have you ever tried bf in a sling? I really struggled with dd3 in the very early days with length of feeds and not being able to put her down but was given a 'close' sling and its fantastic. Can hold baby upright in it or lying across to feed. Not sure how you'd get on with a really teeny 1 but I reckon by 6-8 weeks I found it a piece of cake, now I can buy shoes in clarks for the other 2 whilst feeding and she just goes to sleep in it when she's done. Actually prefer it to sitting down and feeding now (well sometimes!). I really don't know what I'd do without it, plus you can get them on ebay for around 25 quid...
