any other mom's feel terrible about not breast feeding? I delivered 10 days ago, and sit here thinking I'm a terrible mom...we tried in the hospital and she just wouldn't latch...I have a pump here at home, but just never tried to pump... now I'm thinking since its been 10 days its too late to try and pump. 😣😕

no its not too late. try...everyday 20 mins...and youll eventually get milk in there... your body will automatically produce milk as soon as it feels the sucking on the nipples...lil by lil but it will come

@nicolekayo07, you should be OK to still pump 😆 my daughter wouldn't latch either so I would pump every 2-3 hrs but my milk would make her throw up a lot so I stopped there

i felt bad when i wanted to stop.. i stopped pumping nd breastfeeding at 3 weeks nd tried again at 5 weeks he didnt wanna do it anymore .. formula or breastfed .. long as your baby is eating it doesn't matter . . nd ITS NOT too late for you to pump or breastfeed .

@cubanese, @karina809 thanks girls! and if I do pump...it should be every 2-3 hours? or as long as I pump this many times in a day I'll be good?

@babybee, if I could give her breast milk for a month I would be happy with that! I just wanna give her as many nutrients back as I can! when I go back to work in July I don't wanna still be breast feeding...
@hishappymommy she'll eat formula but I just feel bad that I could be giving her things she needs and I'm not. 😕

I had my daughter 10 days ago an I'm breastfeeding, pumping, an formula feeding. But she only latches to 1 boob an now more milk is producing in that boob than the other. So I would start pumping now so u can produce. They say pump 2-3 hours but I pump when I start leaking an pump for at least 30 minutes

@saranicole393, our baby girls share a birthday! 😄 they say you can mix breast milk and formula together...do you do that? or do you do one or the other? how do you determine which to give to her?

I don't mix them. I give her formula while I'm pumping enough so she can get a feeding out of it. So I'm back an forth on it lol
