Nothing wrong with that! As long as your baby is fed that's all that matters. I am planning to breastfeed and hopefully he latches and we have no problems but if not then formula it is. Some women just can't do it due to pain and get frowned upon or the baby just simply doesn't take to it. You do what you need to do momma :)
yess i totally agree thats why im doing both :) pumping doesnt hurt like direct i only get 1-2 oz at a time so i feed her a few bottles of breastmilk and a few of formula @mrsb14
okay awesome thank you so much @wiccanmommy and yes mam i agree ive been doing skin to skin @mommytoprincessmckenzie
@mommytoprincessmckenzie, im pumping its the same thing just in the bottle and not on my boob.
My nipples are cracked and sore and they had even scabbed up. It takes some time to get use to it.
Breastfeeding is gonna hurt. It's normal. Don't give up! Use nipple cream. And did a lactation counselor show you some positions to use? I had trouble at first too. And I still do. But breast is best, it's healthier.
i know i got frowned upon the whole time in the hospital then finally one nice nurse said yes to giving me formula the others basically refused saying oh ur hurting ill sent the nurse to help ur find a better position. my opinion on it is if i am crying in pain while feeding she can feel my stress how is tht suppose to be bonding? and if i dread feeding her and get all upset becus of the pain how is that suppose to be healthy? my baby desrves to eat i shouldnt dread wanting to feed her which is why i said i will do fomula but now i have a pump and it doesnt hurt at all so now i can do both:) @mrsb14
