After deciding to breastfeed my baby (now 3 months old) I have come to the realization that it isn't as easy as it seems. After initially gaining weight he then stopped gaining and lost 20 grams from then on it has been a very bumpy road. I have been on medication to increase my milk supply, have been to see lactation lady and speech therapist and am still having the same result. At the moment he is feeding pretty much 2 hourly unless he manages to sleep for 3 hours and even making 2 hours most of the time is pushing it, and after feeding 8 to 10 times a day I am still having to give him formula at the end of the day otherwise he wont settle. I have tried expressing but can only manage 20mls max. Does anyone have any suggestions or been in a similar situation that may be able to a) cut out the bottle of formula b) increase length of time between feeds I am just not sure wheter or not to continue breastfeeding or to swap to bottle feeds as he seems to be getting more and more unsettled each day.
