Help to stop crying.

I can't seem to stop myself crying about DS2(4 weeks) feeding problems. I've have many problems and have decided to FF. But when I give him a bottle I cry or if I even think about it I start to cry.

I hate crying infront of DS1(22 months) and would like some tips to just stop myself just until he goes to bed.

I'm going to see HV about how I am feeling but just wanted something until I get to see her.

Thanks

Why does giving him a bottle make you cry? It may not be what you wanted to do, but you are feeding your son, that's the important thing, for whatever reason you are unable to bf, you are still doing what is best for your child by ensuring he gets food by whatever means it takes.
I hope your hv can help you.

clearly ff is not making you happier, can you switch back to breast? thought your hv was not a huge help with the feeding anyway

and am so sorry you are feeling so low

Because I don't want him to have a bottle, I wanted to BF him and I just can't stop myself from crying.

She isn't Lulu but I can't keep feeling so crap.

I don't know if I can switch back, he doesn't really latch on well anymore.

is it worth retrying

have a look at biological nurturing

try getting him to latch on in the bath. lots of skin to skin too

I am going to give it another go. I don't want to give up without knowing I have done all I can do.
