Alright, so how do I go about transitioning my 5 day old from breast milk to formula? will it hurt him in any way?

why are you transitioning

I'm going through some depression right now and I'm finding it difficult to pump after my son having trouble latching @brittknee

no it wont hurt him.

have you tried essential oils I suggest diluted sweet orange.

also have him chexk for tongue or lip tie also a nipple shield might help him latch

I have tried with the nipple shield and had no luck unfortunately @brittknee

how is it today? did you introduce formula? have you pumped?

I pumped once because I was in pain. I fed it to him and he threw up everywhere. the formula seems to be working better for him but my boobs are so sore @brittknee

take a decongestant to dry up if you truely want to , peppermint is supposed to help too.
