Dd2 was born on Sunday. We decided early on in the pregnancy that we would bottle feed her and when she was born we gave her formula. She has taken to it really well and is happy and content.
But, on Monday night I decided I wanted to try and breastfeed her when my milk came in which it started to last night. I tried to feed her and she latched on but I don't think shes sucking hard enough to get any milk.
I've tried a few times today but she gets frustrated after a while and I just give her a bottle. Last time I tried I think she got some milk and then fell asleep but I can't be sure.
I'm not sure if I should just leave it or keep trying. I don't want to upset or confuse her.
