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.

@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!
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...
Breastfeeding.
I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
Lady at WIC making me feel bad cause I want to formula feed & breast feed my baby, like it isn't my fault my chubby bunny eats 2x what I produce, & I refuse to let my child starve so yes I will formula feed him. 👀😒
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...
Want to formula feed my baby, as of now I pump and feed him breast milk but I feel so guilty :(
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!
