Her Mum had awful problems breastfeeding at the start, apparently getting into a satisfactory routine can take weeks. My daughter seems to coping OK now, but she still worries about it, although baby is thriving solely on breast milk. She read somewhere that most babies have a teasy time at 6 and 7 weeks. Our baba certainly did. I know it's not much consolation to a tired and stressed new Mum, but babies go through stages. In a couple of weeks, he will have moved on, and you will be worrying about something else. Remember with babies, nothing lasts forever. I take it you are a first-time Mum? Do you have any friends or relatives who could watch baby while you grab some sleep, even if it is only for a couple of hours? As you are using some formula, they could give him a couple of ounces feed if he did play up. We babysat for our daughter, and it helped her through a difficult time, although she wasn't using formula, she could have about 3 hours sleep, even if it was mid afternoon. If all else fails, contact Health Visitor to see if she has any ideas. That's what they are there for. My little granddaughter is just over 13 weeks old.
