any other moms go from breast feeding to supplementing? babys 2 1/2 days old, and my nipples are raw and bleeding, I want to try 2 supplement bottles a day and the rest on the breast. but I'm beating myself up about it, I feel like a failure.
You could also try a nipple shield-I did that for my daughter bc she wouldn't latch and it hurt so bad. Just a thin plastic piece you put over your nipple that makes it more like a bottle shape. That saved my nipples too. Never even need cream with it
I do it my baby is 3 weeks been doing since one week she goes from bottle to Breast with no problem I do maybe 2 bottles a day n usually try to just do bottles when my nips are too sore n if we have to go out in public don't feel bad you will be giving Breast milk still right just pumping it or are you going to use a formula for breastfeeding to supplement with ?
