I'm 10 days postpartum , been breastfeeding since than & pumping , but It's been a toll on me, I can't get my baby girl to latch right away & can sometimes get stressful , I've fed my baby girl formula about 4 times Max. but I feel like a failure & I really hate formula, what should I do ? :(
My baby didn't latch right try a breast sheld it worked for my baby tell she got a hang of it
if you dont want to formula feed, try strickly pumping and feeding her that way. you wont have to worry about her latching on correctly but shes still getting your milk. either that or go to a lactation specialist and maybe have the specalist teach your baby girl to latch on correctly
Whatever you feel is best! Everyone will have an opinion, so you have to do what's best for you! I've tried breastfeeding 3 time with all my children and I wasn't cut out for so I switched to formula. You're not a failure so don't feel like one!
My wont latch but it's because a lip tie so check for a lip or tongue tie
