I had question for you mommies. I started formula feeding since Violet was born, but she's been spitting up and been constipated. Is it too late to start breastfeeding? She's was born on the 18th. My boobs started getting hard, I'm leaking milk and when I push on the hard spots milk comes out

No it's not too late tho it'll probably take some time to increase ur supply to what u want it to be. Spitting up with formula is common as babies tend to eat really fast with it and over fill themselves and the constipation is from the iron in the formula. Ull still have to supplement for a while until ur supply increases but unless ur dried up it's nvr too late to start.

No. Just breastfeed

It's never too late, just remember you'll need to regulate your milk supply so put her to breast as often as possible, do akin to skin, etc. do you get WIC? They may be able to provide you with a pump & they have lactation consultants that can help you anytime.

Its never too late! Latch her on! Formula causes constipation and it may not agree with her body. Breast milk is a natural laxative and is easy to digest.

You can breastfeed! She may be spitting up because she's eating to much at once. Hope it works for you!:)
