i don't want to offend anyone
i have seen a few posts about bottle feeding if you can't breastfeed. I just wanted to let you moms know that if I can't feed because of the baby not latching or having a tongue tie or any other complications and my breasts are producing im going to pump and bottle feed. I do not have a problem with formula but breastmilk is the #1 thing and I feel that more moms should try that instead of just jumping to formula.
I mostly posted this because some people just dont think about pumping and will just go to formula.
As long as baby is being fed, taken care of and loved it shouldn't matter how baby is fed. 😊 It's okay! I wasn't prepared for how hard / frustrating it was going to be, but now I know what to expect and I hope to breastfeed this little one a while longer then my first. 😊
I know you didn't mean to offend anyone, and you are completely entitled to your opinion... but maybe next time you should research the reasons why some moms don't breastfeed or go to formula feeding right away before you throw such a judgemental post out.. I see you apologizing because you didn't know thinks like a breast reduction could effect breastfeeding, which I also didn't know until here recently when I started researching breastfeeding in general... I'm sure your post hurt a lot of moms feeling..
Sometimes you still can. But I had so much taken out and they cut into my milk ducts. It's ok though. So.etimes I get depressed about it, but both my other babies came out just fine being formula fed. 😊
@bubblebeck, im sorry :( I didn't know that was possible.. I thought they have a way of doing it so you can still feed!
@nharri22, im sorry you dried up so soon :( i would be heartbroken also! but remember the littlest amount still makes a difference!
And you don't know if they haven't. And if they choose to go straight to formula, that's their choice. As long as the baby is eating, that's what matters.
I lost my supply pumping / bottle feeding it was sad but my baby is healthy and happy so oh well.
Wish I could pump...I don't even produce milk bc of a breast reduction I had 15 years ago. 😔
breastfeeding 100%
