So I hope this doesn't sound selfish... I CANNOT lose weight while breast feeding. I have to use a shield so it doesn't feel as much like a bonding experience, and my son spits up more when I breast feed. I'm basically on an oatmeal and fruit diet which sucks. My son is almost 5 weeks old. Did any of you moms stop breastfeeding and formula feed when you LO was around that age? For some reason I feel so guilty switching but I'm just having the hardest time and think my happiness is important to be a good mother.
