Ive 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.

I had to do it to. I felt really bad. as long as baby is getting fed(:
I did the exact same thing! Less milk supply, so I supplement with formula but still pump so he gets four bottles of breast milk a day! Anything helps! Don't feel bad!
@bryawna13, don't feel guilty momma. You're doing the best you can like the rest of us and in a perfect world we'd make enough to feed our babies and have enough pumped and stored up for them and all the babies in the world. But they grow and need more and sometimes our bodies can't keep up. Don't feel bad! I use earths best organic formula for sensitivity and it's worked great.
My baby is almost two weeks old. She’s drinking 2oz of formula and she finishes the bottles. But her grandma over feed her and sometimes gives her two bottle of formula. Usually how much can she drink since she’s still two little..?
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
Ladies I need your help! I’m planning on giving baby her first feed from the breast so she gets all my colostrum but after I’m using formula. Did you mummies that formula feed take the ready made bottles with teats to the hospital in case you had to stay in?
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@arielle, @tracynangel @blessedmommy thank you ladies:) that helps❤️
