I always feel so guilty and selfish because I give my son formula when he doesn't get full off my breast milk and my boob is hurting just so that he can get full and sleep.

If he's nursing a bunch, and that's why you're thinking he's not full, it's to build up your supply. I promise it does get easier. But you shouldn't be having to use formula... And don't feel guilty! He is fine! :)

thanks @littlemissrainesmommy
and @unbecomingme he does nurse alot and I can usally keep up with him with his hunger but its when sometimes at night and hes crying and crying cuz hes hungry and my boobs are hurting and I t hurts when he latches is when I give him formula. my son will be a month on the 7th and come out 9.5 and I'm sure hes about over 10 pounds now.

My lo was 8.12 at birth, so a little smaller. But by 2 months she was well over 10 lbs. I hate when people say nursing shouldn't hurt, cause it does! Even if you have a great latch. I would recommend looking into nipple shields, those may work for you. But don't give up! You are doing amazing! And there is nothing wrong with formula, so I hope you didn't take my comment in a judgement way. But I really do promise it does stop hurting.

Also if you can, try to see a lactation consultant. They're pushy, but they may be able to help!

you don't need to give him formula, trust your body. Your milk runs completely off of a supply and demand and formula will only interfere with that if he's skipping a meal from you and getting a bottle.

if it hurts even when he's latched on correctly, look to see if he has a tongue tie, you can't talk to a LC or your child's doctor.
