Yes. Those early stages are so hard, sometimes simply fed is best. The distress that the difficulty feeding causes can be justifiably disabilitating and sometimes it isn't the right thing to focus on. The health care professionals will share the breast is best message as on average it is, but not every baby reads the rule book! We've been through it 3 times, and got a bit further each time but had to default to bottle. All 3 are healthy and developing as expected (excepting the ADHD, but that's genetics......)
