Expressed milk introduction & nighttime demand feeding

Lisa

Hello!

I’m 16 days into breastfeeding - it has been hard work but I’m trying to persist and make it to 6 months.

I’m exhausted RE night feeds. Do I need to wake baby every 3 hours instead of doing demand feeding during night? Sometimes he is sound asleep and I wake him and it takes me over an hour - 2hrs to feed and then resettle him.

Also when can I introduce a bottle of expresses breastmilk (given by my husband) so I can sleep longer than 1.5hours (without it affecting my milk supply)?

Thank you!
