[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw that someone suggested retained placenta. That is worth looking into.

But i still think it’s sleep.

Your LC is so wrong. Typical for them, but wrong. It’s actually great to introduce a bottle right away so they’ll get used to it and can take it if there’sa need later on. Pump milk and take shifts, that is what I did to recover. One person does bedtime to midnight, another does 12-3, another does 3-7. You have all this venmo! Use it. I breastfed for 2.5 years. I combo fed from birth to 2 months, then exclusively breastfed from 2-6 months, then back to combo feeding plus solids. No trouble at all with any of those transitions. Nipple confusion is a myth used to scare women into exclusive breastfeeding. It isn’t real.[/quote]

This is what I did too on doctor's advice when I was exhausted and not doing well. Pumped and DH fed baby #1 one bottle for one of the overnight feedings so I could get a longer stretch of sleep. Did not interfere with BF'ing.

for baby #2, did the same thing except used formula for that one bottle feeding instead of pumping. (I hate pumping). [/quote]
