Has anyone breastfed just during the day and bottle fed at night?
I’ve been breastfeeding only during the day. From about 8 am until midnight every day I let my baby eat as much as they want on the breast. I let her cluster feed during the day too. But when it gets to midnight and she still isn’t satisfied with what my boobs have to offer and she’s still hungry and I’m exhausted and my boobs hurt from her doing this all day too, I give her a bottle and we go to bed because with a bottle she’ll sleep for an easy four hour stretch and I need it to not go crazy. Then when she wakes for her middle of the night feed I feed her a bottle and do a pumping session (which still takes less time than if I were to breastfeed her because she’s never satisfied) and then we go back to bed for another four hour stretch and then morning time comes and I go back to breastfeeding. Has anyone else done a similar schedule and still been successful with breastfeeding? Is it possible to do this long term?
