Feeling overwhelmed.

Michelle

Baby was born the 7th of September. After meeting with her pediatric nurse, she said it was ok to start pumping. My main fear was that baby wasn't eating enough. After pumping after a feed today, I understood why it take her so long and why she seemed hungry all the time. I'm FTM. I've never really been around newborn around the clock. But after only producing 2 ounces today I started crying. I can actually see what's going on. Is 2 ounces on the first pump ok? After that we did try to latch with a bottle with the breast milk. Baby took it so easy. Then we tried a pacifier. Just to wonder what she would do. She didn't spit it out. And now I'm back to breastfeeding. And yeah Of course I cried! Please don't judge me! I've been so stressed and it hit me on just how hard it is to breastfeed. Now that I know she'll take a bottle I feel better. But should I carry on to feed her with the bottle only during the night? Or strictly wait another week or two? I'll see if I can. I've just felt so beat and tired. And maybe it's bc she's so brand new. This is all new to me. Maybe I'm just highly hormonal. But the part that stresses me out the most is that Baby clusterfeeds and sometimes feeds for like 2 hours! With maybe 3 hrs of sleep. I sometimes feed her while I lay on my back and she'll sleep on my chest but that isn't ideal for me. Bc it takes her so long to feed. Please ladies, words of encouragement. ive never done this before. I don't know who all to ask. I feel beyond worried and stressed. I don't even know what's normal!!!!! I want to do this but I'm scared of failure. Formula is the absolute thing I do not want to do. My birth plan fell through. I don't want this to fall through either. Thank you in advance!
