Did anyone start breastfeeding or pumping and feeding and decide to switch to formula? I'm on day 2 of formula feeding and feeling pretty guilty. My son couldn't really breastfeed (latch issues) so I pumped and fed, he was going through breast milk like it was water, eating 4 oz every hour to hour and a half; I couldn't keep up. it was extremely stressful, I was constantly pumping and not getting to spend time with him, the constant pumping caused me to bleed. He also was really gassy and threw up a lot. since starting him in reduced lactose formula he stays full longer and throws up less, and I get to spend more time with him; but I still feel super guilty. I wasn't breast fed, and no one has ever made me feel like I have to. so where does the guilt come from?

if you feel like formula is better for him than that's what you do :) don't feel like you have to breast feed him. you can show him other ways you love him by cuddles, playing, singing, rocking him. I felt guilty with my first baby I didn't even try to breast feed but I loved feeding her her bottle. just don't feel bad!
Want to formula feed my baby, as of now I pump and feed him breast milk but I feel so guilty :(
My son won't latch. And I pump for him
But can't keep up!! With both boobs I only get an oz and he feeds every 2 to 2 n half hours so I'm trying to pump for him in between.
Haven't slept in days so my husband suggested since pumping isn't working good to do formula at night... I feel guilty but my boobs aren't doing enough for my baby
Who does breast milk & formula!!!!!???!? How does it go for u and baby?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Ladies my 2 week old is exclusively breast fed and he's been spitting up lately. As far as the w.i.c has told me, you can't over feed a breast fed baby. But I feel like i might be over feeding him?? Any advice
My son loves the bottle more than my breast 😫 he gets so fussy when I give him my breast but has no issue with with bottle. As long as his eating I’m okay with it. I’ve been pumping and I hate pumping!!
The same thing happened to me. I couldn't produce enough so we supplemented with formula. She was still so upset and so we put her on all formula and now is happy and healthy as ever :)
