It's hard cuz you feel like you failed, I still struggle with the fact I couldn't breastfeed the boys, I know twins is a challenge to begin with but I really wanted to cuz I know it's better for them, but they got 5 weeks of it so that's the good thing, all that colostrum they both got so that makes me feel better bout it
some mom's beat themselves up because they have been shamed for it. I chose to formula feed because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to breastfeed because my whole family and my husbands had a lot of problems trying and with milk in general. and I've been shamed at the WIC office, gotten dirty looks when making bottles out in public, and even some other moms have said things about it in public. I regret not trying but I was so scared that something would go wrong if I tried from family history that we decided against it. I told my husband that I want to try when we have another child though.
Not all moms want or can BF. some moms just don't want to cause they want OR need to go back to work ASAP ( mainly single moms reasons for not BF ). other moms can't BF due to health reason & that I know of most are because of the mother having bad anemia.
I have been BF for 8 months now & will continue to do so for as long as I can take it & my body produces for.
Because some judgemental people tend to tell us we failed and could've gone longer breastfeeding. Truth is they don't know our struggle and baby is growing great on formula. People are so judgy.
NEVER be ashamed of BF. it's the best supply of milk a child can get & the bond is incredible! Till this day ( 8 months ) I have NEVER had anyone say or stare at me for BF my son. I could give 0 fucks about what people say or think..I'm providing the best for my child & no one can tell me or prove me otherwise. I know I'm doing my job & that's all that counts at the end. Your body your baby YOUR CHOICE.
