Until later on*
Not anymore but yes i went through this and wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy 💯 sending hugs mama and try Enfamil gentleease (purple can) because it took a long time for us to get it right but i believe thats the perfect formula to swap from breastmilk and is what i would offer my second child if i ever got that lucky
This is such a stigma around formula feeding. My son has been exclusively formula fed since he was 3 days old. He would not latch, I was crying way too much and we were both so SO anxious and unhappy anytime my boob came out to try to feed. Switching to formula was the best thing for both of us. I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with formula. You are not a horrible mom, and your baby will be ok!!
@Amanda totally agree and it takes alot to make that swap so good job mama!! 👏 FED is BEST and we both have living proof that formula works just as good 🥰🥰 My son has only been sick a handful of times and is aboit to be 4 so his immune system got what was needed from the formula too
I had this with my son. I felt like a failure for giving formula. I managed to pump until he was 5 months old, and it destroyed my mental health. In hindsight I wish I hadn't done it. If it helps you at all, and you are planning on having more children, I'm 7 months into bf my daughter, whilst still hard in the beginning because of latch issues, she is a boobie monster. Babies are different. Don't feel bad for using formula, all that matters is that your baby is fed (but I totally get that it doesn't help how you feel, when people say this). You aren't the only one to go through this
Nothing wrong with formula! But sometimes babies can’t latch later on. My baby had a hard time feeding until he was 10 weeks. I’m now glad I stuck to pumping to keep up the supply and kept trying.
