I’ve tried to be EBF but I’ve had to give baby formula at around this time every night as she just refused to latch and cries herself into a state where even going near my breast she’ll go into one!
It doesn’t make sense as throughout the night we’re fine, same all morning and day until around 4-9 and she’ll just refuse it and go mental.
It’s not even my flow or slow let down because I have milk and it’s consistent so I’ve no idea what it is! So disheartening as I wanted to be purely BF but baby makes it so difficult 😣

Are you able to pump if you want her to still get breastmilk? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with formula and ultimately as long as baby is growing appropriately and otherwise healthy , she’s fine regardless of what she’s getting between formula and breastmilk. It’s also not all or nothing. Even some breastmilk is still beneficial even if combined with formula. You’re doing great!

Could she be overtired? My baby is fussy and won't latch if he's overtired x
