Breastfeeding has been fun!
Yesterday was the first time that Eoin latched on without much of a fight but it's still not a good latch. It's getting better and we are both becoming more comfortable with it. We've got about two days worth of breast milk left and then we will have to supplement with formula (I've been pumping a storing the milk that I make). There are so many formulas out there how do you choose? We ended up going with Similac Organic. The plan of action is to let him latch on for as long as he wants at the start of each feed and then top up with formula. It's been difficult to keep up with the pumping on top of looking after a newborn but I'm getting maybe four pumps in a day. And hopefully once we've seen the lactation consultant next week we can improve Eoin's latch.
