Beverly story ·Мама дочки-младенца

What hurts me the most is that I wanted to breast-feed so bad. I was getting enough milk to feed 3 babies, I thought I was an amazing job, my baby girl was latching great and it did not hurt be at all. Come to find out my breastmilk was not getting enough calories to my baby so now I have to supplement with formula and since I did my milk dropped really bad I'm barely producing anything now so now I'm pretty much formula feeding altogether. it makes me cry every time I think of it, because I was doing so good on breast-feeding, if it wasn't for the calories and I wanted to breast-feed sooooo bad 😢

@beverlystory13, don't worry momma. It's normal for babies to be small it's bc our milk is specifically for their needs bc not all babies are the same.. your milk changed everyday.. but I encourage you (if you wanna keep a milk supply) to pump for every missed feeding bc if not, your supply will diminish.. so just keep up on pumping and all should be ok. Stay positive !

Her dr told me that because she was not gaining her birth weight back so my milk was not giving her the calories she needed and she had been super fussy and when I started giving her formula she got better

Talk to a IBCLC.. there's no such thing as that.. mothers in 3rd world countries strictly breastfeed and barely eat and their children thrive.. don't let drs who don't know anything about lactation tell you you're not doing it right.. they use a scale that changes every year to say what a thriving child is like.. seriously.. don't let this discourage you momma.. I was told the same thing and I ignored them.. my son is beyond thriving and doing so good.

I know how you feel. I am going through the same situation. I took it really hard. I felt like I was failing my daughter.

latamalera I use the medela ones they're like $8 at target. Best purchase ever. Before I started using
eryka616 Try to pump every two to four hours and pump until your breasts are empty that's how
