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!

Wow I'd be so upset. I probably wouldn't even have formula around if they can't respect your wishes

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

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?

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

Breastfeeding.

I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.

?????? me!! I most definitely will be!
I am pregnant with my fourth child. I have an older daughter and a set of twins.
I nursed all 3 girls and plan to with #4.

a.mama22 Can’t hurt to try! I tried both times and wasn’t a fan and neither were my babies.
okhristich I pump and feed my baby girl. My breast milk came in super late for some reason,
milkymama92 Breastfeeding is hard work but so rewarding for both you and your baby. It's definitely worth giving
