Girl! I'm currently going through this and I cried so much the last 2 weeks; but now I'm feeling better; I still pump but I hate it. She is 3 weeks and I have to supplement with formula for 2-3 feedings. You are doing amazing and your mental health is more important.

I went through the exact same process last year with having 2 under 2! So I totally understand your situation, and indeed in the end fed is best! Esp for your mental health ❤️

Exact same thing happened with my 1st & 2nd. EP with my first and decided to formula the 2nd and it was the best decision. He is now 5 months & thriving 🙌🏻

100% went through the same thing with my first. And now with my second I tried and I couldn’t do it. My body didn’t make enough for my son and I felt my mental health was suffering. We made the decision sooner rather than later. And I feel sooooo much pressure lifted off my shoulders. We put so much pressure on ourselves!

Kaiden || Mama of 🐻🐻 :
I don’t blame you! My son didn’t latch so I pumped for a month but he ended up being lactose intolerant and to save me from changing my entire diet I swapped to soy formula, my daughter is a month old and I was pumping and trying to bf her but she would latch then not, and she was screaming her head off refusing to latch again and it got so frustrating I’d break down as my partner makes her a bottle, I got tired of pumping and started forgetting to pump and trying to pump every 2-4hours as well as tending to my one year old was EXHAUSTING 😭 she’s a chunky girl and is eating 2-4oz and all I could pump was 2oz and even after that she was still hungry💔

My girl is 15 months and I’m still exclusively pumping, if I have another I will take the same route you do. Pumping has truly drained me.

I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to share your experience. You are so strong mama, your babies are lucky to have a mama who wants to do her best for them.

Girl I get it! Honestly I dreaded it too and I didn’t want to ebf at alllll like nothing inside me wanted to and was motivated to…I tried and hated it. You’re doing great! You’re a wonderful mom

Formula provides all the nutrients baby needs, I know you know this but sometimes a reminder is nice 🥰 Neither way of feeding baby makes you superior or inferior

Aww @shikha | motherhood + life 💗 I know this all too well, I had the same exact BF experience with Dimitris & the mom guilt is soo real. It was an awful experience for me too & once combo feeding wrapped up & he continued on with just formula it was a relief. Fed is best & you’re doing an amazing job mama, don’t ever forget that!! 💗💗

I couldn’t successfully nurse and exclusively pumped too. I call BS on the bond claims too, can’t imagine having a stronger bond with my son ❤️

Going through the same with my second! Also giving 1 breast milk bottle a day and rest is formula, we need to be able to care for ourselves and our family happily not upset or overstimulated! You’re doing a wonderful job! 🥰
