I got this breastfeeding book from wic today lord jesus they make it seem like breastfeeding is like…

ikr! I felt the same way! lol I was like now I don't even know if I wanna use formula 😂 but they try and get you too breastfeed so they won't have too give you formula , so if your indecisive , I'd say just tell them you I'd go with formula for now and see how thing work out with breastfeeding. lol they continuously keep pressuring me too breastfeed which is good for the baby. But I still don't know if I wanna do it at least not for long.

@leiibaaaby,

Lol yeah this book is throwing so much shade at formula moms . But i made up my mind that i want to breastfeed but damn what if something happens that makes me unable to sheesh they make you feel so bad 😂 @booboolanii

trust me even when you go into pick up your vouchers for formula they look down at you. I breastfed for 4 1/2 months but my body gave up on me. Not only is it good for both mommy and baby it is also free. formula is expensive and when your baby hits six months the reduced how many cans you get because they think your child should be eating solids more than drinking formula.

Aww that sucks sorry you have to deal with that , more people should say something to them about the way they are putting moms down ! @bentleyandmommy

Honestly as long as a child's fed ... That's literally all that matters ... Honestly after my c section after her 2nd week I was almost dry then I got sick and the meds dried me out even though my doctor said they wouldn't . &

I've said things to them. I've also cocked an attitude with them when they piss me off. I don't put up with it and they have learned that if you mess with me I will say something. the day they told me they were cutting my son's formula down from 10 cans to 7 I told them it was complete bs since he has a written prescription saying how many he needs. He isn't very big so he needs the calories from the formula. they told me it is cheaper for them to only give him 7 cans.

my son's Doctor made me stop breast feeding for a week due to the type of testing and treatment he needed I tried pumping and storing but my supply wasn't keeping up even though he was a preemie he drank alot and got used to the bottle flow after that I did both I figured even though it wasn't enough to fill him it was better than nothing. I tried but had issues after that now he's all formula and very intelligent I see nothing wrong with formula it fed my baby when I couldn't.

That's crazy so you just pay for the rest of the cans yourself or just give him solids to fill him up ? @bentleyandmommy

Thats so great you kept trying ,yeah they dont know the situation so they shouldnt judge or put moms down @amorette

obviously formula is good for a baby if not it wouldn't be an option. but I feel like it should the 2nd option. breast feeding does get veryyyyy exhausting so my advice is to pump and alternate using a bottle. if you don't want your baby to get Confused with the nipple have someone other than your self feed her. my son never took a bottle and I regretted it bc when I weaned him off my breast it was not a pretty scene lol

I love breastfeeding so I can't really speak on this subject lol. I just don't really care for the way formula smells and I wouldn't wanna taste it or try so I'd rather not give it to my baby. But I do think it's wrong when people try and bash formula feeding moms because he'll there getting fed either choice. I did notice that breastfeed babies don't spit up as much as formula feed ones though
