I never wanted to breastfeed. Didn't do it with my first daughter and fully decided to bottle feed. It didn't even enter my mind as bad as it sounds. Well this time around my birth was amazing as opposed to my first which was traumatic. Me and baby were home straight away. Any hoo on the 1st night i was giving her a bottle and she wasn't taking to it very well, she was very windy and didn't look satisfied so (shockingly) I put her to my breast? She lovedddddd it and I was amazed at how well she latched etc. Ok so i thought this was a one off but I carried on. Day after day I kept saying Im gonna put her back on the bottle but then we got through another day and i started to feel quite proud. I had really sore nipples which bled badly but we overcame that and they are fine and pain free now. I even express bottles to take out with me because Im very shy and not confident enough to do it in public yet.
The thing is even though my docs and midiwife compliment me massively, Im thinking of going to the bottle. I just don't have confidence in what I am doing. I know if I bottle feed I will know how much she has had. Somtimes she is off and on and looks unsatisfied and i feel awful. I also can't seem to always settle her at night? I dread it sometimes and just think the bottle would be a hell of a lot easier? I keep persevering but at the same time I get no time for my other daughter and i am always stressed, not feeling well or eating and i keep trying to weigh up the pros and cons. Would love some advice?
And also is it ok that everyyyyyyyyy nappy is a poo???m
thanx ladies
