My mother Inlaw is so annoying when it comes to me feeding my son. She has to have her too sense in everything, especially when it comes to breast feeding. I was nursing my son for the first few days but he had trouble staying latched on. I've tried multiple different positions to feed him and sometimes he stays latched on and sometimes he doesn't. So I purchased a breast pump so now I'm bottle feeding him breast milk. I feel guilty already I loved nursing him but bottle feeding is just easier for us both right now. Any moms went through this?

I have not. but I believe fed it best! and props for keeping your supply up with a pump. a lot of ladies on here say you can't establish a good supply through a pump.

I'll always feed my baby breast milk, and I've been keeping my supply since I got my milk in a couple days ago. I'm apply to supply a lot of milk lol @lexij

Okay that makes me feel better @adrianliam 😊 he's only 5 days old but pumping is just easier right now, I pump about 5 oz a session maybe every few hours whenever my boobs feel full. Is that okay? Sorry I'm a first time mommy lol

I usually pump right after he eats. That way I have milk for his next feeding and I get on a schedule. I don't know how much your little guy eats but I think mine was eating 2 oZ every couple hours at that age. So you should be good! You could probably start freezing your milk and getting a good supply if you have enough. But if you feel your supply is starting to decrease just pump more often and your body will recognize it needs to produce more milk. At least that's what I did. And try the Fenugreek supplements... they boosted my supply ;)

they actually seem to be stocking up the freezer! so yes! I know at least one has eaten lactation cookies and takes fenugreek

Doesn't matter if you bottle feed or breast feed. it's all breast milk.
