My silver cloud to introducing a bottle so early was they fact that my lg who is now six months will happily take a bottle if I go out or need a break whereas a lot of my BF friends can't leave their babies as they ring take one. I'm really struggling to breast feed my 1 week old boy at the moment due to bleeding nipples and he was diagnosed with a tongue tie yesterday. He has been hysterical today, fighting me when I try to get him to latch on, so my hubby has just suggested using a starter bottle of aptamil we bought just in case. I'm sat here devastated watching him drink a bottle and feel like a failure. I'm so scared my milk will dry up. I think I may even have mastitis in one boob so I'm going to try and express now.

You are not a failure. Tongue tie is one of those things. My son had it and it was not diagnosed until he was severely ill in SCBU with 15.8% weightloss and life threatening levels of dehydration, jaundice and high serum sodium. If anyone should feel a failure it is me as I nearly starved my baby to death trying to breast feed a baby who could not transfer any milk. I did raise my concerns to every midwife I saw for a week and was patted on the head and told to get on with breast feeding. Baby was never weighed and the jaundice was not recognised. I made a massive complaint to the hospital and worked with the staff to improve monitoring of babies breastfeeding.

However no exactly how you feel as I had the same, and after a few tearful days I came to conclusion bottle feeding was my only option. Thanks everyone for your comments. Had a breakthrough today by using nipple shields. Baby is feeding well on both breasts which will hopefully allow my nipples to heal, and my really sore boob has massively reduced in size too after 2-3 feeds. So along with some expression for tonight's late night feed and more skin to skin in night with shields, hoping the formula will not be needed again!

My daughter was diagnosed with a TT after quite a bit of weight loss and being told it was my milk that wasn't good enough. It was a breast feeding consultant at a clinic at my sure start centre that referred me and she had it cut five days later. In the meantime I was topping up with expressed and formula as well as feeding her so I know how hard you are finding it and how tired you must be!

I found the best way to help with sore nipples was to squeeze a little milk onto them and let them air dry. They healed so much better than any creams and also cold Savoy cabbage leaves in your bra.Costco Online UK Limited, UK Home Office, Hartspring Lane, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD25 8JS.
