He has stopped taking my breast so now I am pumping to feed him. And all my mother can say to me is to put him on formula. She does not understand that breastmilk is free and formula is not. Plus I am going to be the one buying it. Um...I think not. WIC office loaned me an electric pump so I can still breastfeed him. I am able to get a supply up and can really feed him. I wish I was staying with a better support system than my mom.

if you're still wanting to breastfeed, try a nipple shield.. it kind of resembles a bottle because it sticks out more but baby will get it straight from you, and could learn to latch again without it!

@ginz, @sydbooker, thanks for your words of support. I am sticking to my guns about breastfeeding. I won't let her change my mind. She thinks I should raise my son like she raised us (her 3 kids) but I am hardheaded and I like to do things my own way.

Being free is only one of the many benefits! You're doing the right thing. Good for you and your little one!

Don't sweat what she says. What she learned in her time vastly differs from ours. In fact, when I had my first daughter 18 yrs ago, breastfeeding was NOT encouraged as strongly as it is today. My L&D nurse gave my daughter a bottle with formula the night she was born. Crazy right? Things change over time... so don't sweat advice from older generations. You keep doing what you gotta do for your lil man!
