hey mamas! my daughter is 2 weeks old and I am wanting to go to formula. I know a lot of woman will think I'm horrible, but it is my baby...my choice. so my question is...how many oz should I make first? please no rude comments.
I breastfeed my babygirl and supplement her with formula if she doesn't get full from my milk and I'm producing quite a lot but she still won't be completely full. I started with 1 ounce but now I'm doing 1.5 or 1.3 if I feel like it was a poor feeding because she's only 2.5 weeks as well and we are still getting used to breastfeeding but it does not make you a bad parent at least your baby is being fed and your doing what you can in your power to make your sure your baby is being fed. Majority of the day I won't need to supplement anymore but I do give her formula 1 of the feedings at night time because face it breastfeeding is very hard in the beginning and we need a break as well so we could be well enough to take care of our babies. I hope that helps.
I switched to formula as well. It's a million times less stressful. Do what's best for you and your kiddo 💙
