Yes yes, I think more A before bed is key. They had 4h this evening after dreadful naps (not planned but daddy came home during bath time then they were too excited to settle!!) and tbh it wasn't as messy as I had feared!! I have rammed them with breastmilk today hoping they'll be so fed up of boob they won't wake up at all!!
BFing was exhausting to start with but I found it much less anxiety-inducing than bottles - I used to get really paranoid about germs, would run the steriliser loads of times in a row, couldn't let anyone else wash the bottles or do the steriliser.....it was tough times mixed feeding and I felt much better when I didn't have to do any of that! Also I was too paranoid to use powdered formula so we were using only the cartons and it was so expensive!! BFing was the lazy option for me as my babies were good at it, I don't deserve any praise for it!!
