That is very helpful, thank you YW he has just had a bf from me, and was very unsettled. I gave him a bottle, and he is grinning from ear to ear. I am not sure he was entirely convinced by the smile on my face and jolly words of encouragement, when my eyes were leaking.
My left boob has given up. He has not had a proper feed from it for a couple of weeks now. He feeds on it at night when he tends to only need a snack, and I am now having to give him the other one too. My right boob is sore through overuse, as he is feeding so frequently. Probably trying to up supply? I don't know, and I don't care any more. He has been having 3 bottles a week. He is going to have two a day, and more as and when I feel ready. I will still feed morning and night.
I will keep feeding as much as he wants until the jabs are passed (tomorrow) and he has recovered fully. If he gets a reaction to the milk, then at least it will make it easier to diagnose and treat. He has had quite a bit though, and there have been no obvious signs of a reaction, and I would think if it were severe then it would give a quick clear reaction. I have eaten more cheese these last few days as my mum has fed me lunch and she is a cheese fiend. At this stage I am not prepared to go to the lengths you have YW and I do not feel bad about that. He is 20 weeks, I have done fucking well as it has been fucking hard, and I have two other children to consider too. If he were a matter of a few weeks old I would probably feel different.
I will need more than two bottles though I think. I will get him drinking from a cup ASAP as I hate buying fucking bottles!
