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?

@Jennaboo if they want to volunteer to breastfeed for you more power to them 😜 it's honestly not possible for some women to breastfeed. As long as your baby is fed and happy, no one should be criticizing you 💗
Thank u :) I have family members who keep getting mad at me when I say how hard breastfeeding is and that I might stop just because their babies were breastfed and no formula @amarsig23
I pumped and supplemented with formula for 6 months and it went great. I could never keep up with my son, he's such a healthy eater, but he never showed an aversion to formula or anything. He liked both. Just be consistent with your pumping to keep your supply up. When your baby is a newborn I believe every 2-3 hours is what's recommended. Good luck!! Every bit of breast milk will help, but if you can't do it, plenty of awesome babies were raised on just formula and made it :)
Wait supplementation is formula I thought? Lol @keepingupwithhenry
I only did at hosptial and they told me by boob so big and he's so small that once I pump and my boobs go down and he gets bigger it'll b easier. I try latching but he's used to the bottle @bianca_rose
I did it for a while, it was great! I didn't use standard formula, I used supplementation!
Have you seen a lactation consultant? They can show you how to get him to latch, and my ins covered it. There are also YouTube videos about latching that may help you
Thank u i was going to try mothers milk tea soon @maxie
It's super stressful and they say stress reduces ur milk supply too! But can't help it @babyjunebug
I do both it helps me at night if I haven't pumped or if I'm lazy my daughter refuses to breast feed she prefers the bottle.....but supplementing helps I give her both formula and breast milk mixed in a bottle or sometimes I just give her only one of each depends... I Made lactation cookies ir helps woth mh production I also drink lactation tea ot may help you with production
My baby did all three! I pumped, gave her formula, and had her on the breast. she liked the formula the best just because she got fed RIGHT away
I had to supplement formula because my baby wasn't gaining weight properly. It broke my heart and I felt so guilty. But now I'm over it. I realized as long as she's happy and fed it doesn't matter. She still gets mostly breast milk which makes me happy. But the formula takes a lot of stress of me. Husband can help out more and I've been getting more sleep because she gets full and sleeps longer. If you want to avoid formula maybe see a lactation consultant to help with latch or look into ways to boost supply. But if the stress gets to be too much don't feel guilty for supplementing. Sometimes that's what's best for you 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...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill?
He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over...
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
Right?! I hate being judged... Im trying my best to pump for him and get him to latch @amarsig23 thank u!
