Texomamma nice to hear from you.  Currently the RT breast is so painful that i have not fed off it for 2 days.  Dr. gave me a cream to use and i have been pumping.  Debating whether to retry tomorrow or leave it one more day.  I am currently like you doing formula for night feeds and hoping all other feeds in day will be breast.  I would be completely happy if I could strike that balance.  I just want to make sure she gets some breast milk too.

Still makes me feel dissapointed  that it has not worked out the way I would have liked.  DD1 who is 2 has become very demanding (understandably ) and I guess that has influenced the descision too.

Thanks for your help.

(((hugs))) hon, so sorry you've jumped from one problem to another! :(

Have you considered that it might be mastitis?  The severe pain you're describing makes me wonder, and if it is you should get it treated ASAP.  Here's some more info:  http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/mastitis.html
