BUMP! for Redbedrock. Hope this helps a little, even if just to reassure you that you are not the only one struggling with feeding!
BTW just for a laugh my girls get through 14 bottles of formula a day - what a lot of washing and sterilising!

You did so well going for that long Emma.
I got mastitis real bad when I was feeding Haleigh she wouldve been around 6 days old, it was so bad I had bleeding nipples. I got put on antibiotics and expressed for 6 wks. I was too scared to ever latch her again, and also I was in tears everytime I fed so I can imagine what you went through. My antibiotics stopped my milk supply and Haleigh was getting hungry every 30 - 45 mins I was lucky if she would give me 3hrs to rest so I put her on formula and Im happy I did, the first night I did I got 8hrs sleep and had a happy baby.
I started boiling my bottles once Haleigh went on formula as the smell of the milton tablets started getting to me, I think at that age we went through 6 bottles of formula and one of water.
But wow 14 bottles is alot. I remember when I was expressing it was breast pump and bottles it was a teadious job

I use a microwave steriliser. I make up all the bottles at night (and it really is a sight seeing them all lined up in the fridge lol!) then just wash and sterilise them as I go during the day.

I jsut used boiling water. My karitane nurse said at 3 months we could stop sterilising, I didnt stop till Haleigh was 4months. I used to jsut put the water in the bottles at night then that way in the morning it was quicker to heat the water as I used the sit bottle in hot water method.
yeah washing as you go is an easy way especially with so many
