Help ! I am so so tired ! My 7 weeks year old baby girl is combo feeding. She never does a full feed on breast, she is constantly for comfort on me and my nipples are so so sensitive and sore. I would like to stop breastfeeding because I find it so difficult with a big breast like mine, but she only sleeps in my breast with the nipple in her. I have tried to let her cry for a bit but it seems so impossible for her to settle just with rocking and the 5's. Any idea? She won't accept dummy at all !

Aww so your baby is less than 2 months old and your milk still regulating til week 12. So this is normal! During this time cluster feeding and wanting to lay near the milk smell is alll normal 💚 when i started using a nipple moisturizer between feeds it helped A LOT. My son was on me every 5 minutes 😩 hes 2 now and still obsessed.
Is the only difficulty you feel you have ia your breast size? Because that can be helped if you want to keep going!
But if not, when you figure out what feeding system/routine works (since you combo), stick to it and baby will adjust.
Take it from me-- accept some cries in your arms now, and you'll avoid the hard time I'm having now 🤣
