Hey ladies I've been breast feeding for 2 weeks now since my little one was born but as of Monday she refuses to latch or use anything but a bottle which I assume is because that's what she had at the NICU. She screams beyond anything I've ever heard from her if I even try so I've started pumping and bottle feeding it to her. My problem is that she eats so much and so constant that I cannot keep up with pumping and feeding. My milk has even decreased. I've had to start supplementing with formula in between feedings. My question is. Would it be bad to just convert to formula little by little? I feel so guilty but I just can't get enough for her and every time I pump it's after she falls asleep and by the time I'm done she is hungry again 😣 she only stays asleep longer with the formula.
@kainesmadre, she is eating every hour and a half to two hours and I'm pumping after each feeding. @mssjudyk thank you Hun:)
have you tried mothers milk? or the fenugreek ? fenugreek is better. ..
but yes you can switch to just formula little by little. . you shouldn't feel bad either :-)
it's okay to ween her on to formula I'm going to pump for the first 6-8 weeks then I'm switching to formula but slowly.. I bf my first for a year but it's not for me..
