Breastfeeding has been such an amazing journey and has really made me feel connected with my daughter, but I think maybe it is time to start on formula, which is honestly heartbreaking to me. When my parents offer to feed her formula I get this terrible feeling inside. Jealousy? I didn't think it would be this hard to stop breastfeeding, but when I feed her I know that no one else in the world has had this experience with her. It's our own little thing that we get to do together. But I've found pumping is so time consuming and I have to go to basic training soon and I don't know. This decision is so hard for me!

Thank you for the advice! @hayleymarie love the idea of the pump bra! @babygirl10-11 I know, it the hardest decision! Feeling overwhelmed is an understatement. @overthemoon @mommyofaking my parents are just trying to get me to transition ink formula feeding so that they can feed her. It's so frustrating because I'll leave her with them for a few hours and leave breastmilk in a bottle and they'll use formula because "it's easier to heat (using warm water) " @coraanne
Breast feeding is the best you really do feel a bond I love it💓
for a pump bra I saw a diy one it was just a sports bra with cut out holes to fit the pump
Maybe you can keep breastfeeding until a week before you have to leave? How come your parents are asking to feed her formula if your exclusively breastfeeding?
@kellychristine18, i feel the EXACT same way...
If you get a good pump bra you can pump and still be able to do stuff I only pump for 20ish mins every 2-4 hours I'm exclusively pumping and producing MORE than what my daughter eats in a day ...the decision is yours but if you don't want her on formula hands free pumping is an option
Wow I'd be so upset. I probably wouldn't even have formula around if they can't respect your wishes
