Feeding
I breastfed my daughter for a year, she had tongue tie and we had thar released, our journey was hard but we got there. I now have a 6 week old son who I breastfeed and it's been a battle, he struggles latching and staying on etc it got a bit better and I definitely have milk, but it's been very hard at times. I'm now at the point where I dread feeding times, it's constantly on my mind, when did I last feed? How long did he feed? Is he going to be uncomfortably upset during or after or both. Etc etc it's a real battle I know he's doing what babies do cluster feed, fuss etc but I just cant manage it. I actually feel like rubbing away. I feel like a failure at everything. I'm like a stuck record going on about it all time. My husbands getting annoyed with me. I just this minute given up breastfeeding as I was crying. Getting annoyed etc it's not fair on my baby. So I got a ready made formula bottle and given him that, although he still had trouble latching on bottle but he did take it.
Why am I still feeling like this and not relieved has taken a bottle. I really wanted to enjoy breastfeeding but I can't. I also don't know why I can't feel good about bottle feeding, when I know it will help us both. I just can't rationalise.
Also how do I just stop making milk if I don't breastfeed?
Sleep schedule
I need some advice.I have a twenty one month old son.His name is miles.He's such a great baby but lately, he's been going down for his normal bedtime. 738 and then wakes up at 12 o'clock at midnight and stays up the rest of night, dancing carrying on. I've done everything song to Em rock. Try to Rock Em to sleep, played his soothing music. You name it, I've done it and it just doesn't work. And it's like he's sleeping. I mean, I haven't saw me, but he's too young to haven't saw me yet. I feel like he thinks he's gonna miss something till lately. Here and there I've been given a melatonin which I know it's just a supplement and it's not addictive. But they can get accustomed to that. And by taking nuts, that's the only way they can go to sleep. And I don't want him to feel like that. And honestly, he's got the gists of what I'm putting something in this milk because he throws the milk bottle. Now and it's horrible. I don't like to give it to him all the time. And sometimes it works, but sometimes it does not.And he is so hyper, he's bouncing off the walls, even worse than he was before.I just need some help.I'm a single mother and i'm not getting a lot of sleep at all.I just need some guidance, please.Ladies
