Sometimes you just have to follow your gut

So my baby is 5 weeks and since day 1 I’ve been EBF as I did with my first baby. This baby was doing great until she turned 2 weeks. Then she totally changed. At first I thought she was cluster feeding and said just hang on she’ll get through it. But the cluster feeding continued for 3 weeks non stop. My daughter was so fussy, crying all day, she just constantly wanted to be breastfed. I thought something was wrong. She just didn’t seem happy. Her dr told me she was doing great with just my supply and she was gaining weight like she should. I thought a thousand times maybe she’s hungry and I should also give her formula. She looked really hungry. Today I was just fed up. It’s so hard to see your baby unhappy and not know why. I gave in and fed her 2 oz of formula after I breastfed her. She’s a different baby. She’s just so happy! I’m so glad I finally did what my gut thought was the right thing.
