Breastfed to formula

I am really struggling with brewastfeeding now, I’m not sure how long I can keep going and how fair it is for my little one. She may have tongue tie and has recently become fussy in the boob. Gets really stressed out latching on and staying on. She is gaining weight and doing nappies so it is working just so hard. ...

If you’re thinking about formula feeding, or looking for a new formula…

I bf and pump but have started combo feeding when I’m extremely tired, or unable to bf/pump. I’ve tried Bobbie formula and Bubs. Bobbie(cow milk based) gave my baby lots of gas, but so far she’s been doing very well with Bubs(goat milk based). I also didn’t expect to feel so guilty about formula feeding 😭
