Chin up lad ive been there myself,itll get better just takes time

Alot u would know about it

Sorry for your trouble

Cluster feeding at the moment. The poor child starts balling a few minutes after being pulled away from the breast, even after a good 45 minutes to an hour of feeding. Wont settle to sleep unless a boob is presented again.

As you can imagine, my wife is at her wit’s end and is threatening the pacifier or worse still bottle altogether. I’m trying to maintain cool head but really want to continue with the breast feeding. They say the children get a growth spurt after 10 days so this is causing the extra feeding. A bloody public health nurse suggested the pacifier; I should wring her neck

Would you give the child a doody and give the poor woman a break.

A dodi and a bottle will do the child no harm. The good stuff is in their system now.

We didnt bother with any pacifier…its tough, but it passes…if the child goes down for a couple of hours see if she can express enough for a feed from one breast and keep it till later and you can feed the child when your mrs is at breaking point…it will pass tho… Weve just come through the 6 week growth spurt , no dummy again.

But one bottle of formula is also ok ked.

It’s obviously your first.
You are seriously over complicating things here. Let the child have a soother or a bottle if it keeps your wife sane. It won’t make a jot of difference long term.
