Hi,
This is my first time on MN as new mum to 8 day old 1st baby.
We're really struggling to get b/f established. Sometimes it's perfect (mw described as 'text book' b/f), but at others (50+) he struggles violently, which is v v distressing for me. Anyway, really trying to find a way through. Have expressed and fed EBM successfully, but 1st offering breast and only resorting where baby gets upset. Have read on other threads about people usng formula as top up. How does this work? Any tips? My thought is that the hungrier/more frustrated he gets the less likely we are to be successful at b/f, so just looking for a way to take the edge off so we can have relaxed b/f time. PLEASE HELP!!!
