stress out mum

My baby is 2 weeks old and just started formula. I am giving him mix of formula and breastmilk but he seem to prefer formula instead of breastmilk. He seem to fight when i try to latch him on my breast.i try to stay as calm as possible. Both breast have milk because they are always leaking and sometimes it spray out the milk without me disturbing them. I do try to collect in the hakka breastpump.i now have regrets that i gave him formula because before he do not have any problem on lactching on. What should i do?

Your baby might be nipple confuse because u start giving bottle before he is one month old. U can stop bottle and continue breastfeed first, later when he is one month can start bottle feed again. Another alternative u can give your breast milk by pumping and through bottle if he refuse to breastfeed. It takes time for the baby to learn, don’t give up yet mum
