I am having a hard time breastfeeding. My baby isn't latching and I'm not producing enough for him. We tried supplementing with formula but now formula is being used more and more since he is eating more. Can someone who is educated on the benefits of breastfeeding verse formula tell me if it's even worth the stress for both of us to breastfeed? I want what is best for him but if formula is almost the same I think we would both be happier.

Breast milk is far more superior than formula. It changes with your baby to be the perfect food for 6 months. It's digested easier and it provides your baby with the nutrients that they need. Also, if your baby is sick, the milk changes to include antibodies that your child needs to feel better. Please continue to try breastfeeding, it's worth the trouble in my opinion
who plans on both breastfeeding and using formula?

Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Are you breastfeeding or using formula ?!? I'm still debating! I was thinking formula but I know breastfeeding is the healthiest route
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.
Should I Try Breastfeeding Again? Seeking Moms' Experiences
Im still debating on if i should breastfeeding or formula feeding.. I tried breastfeeding with both of my kids but they didnt want too.. Of course i know the pro an cons of formula feed.. I know that fed babies are happy babies😊 (regarding breastfed and formula fed) just want to know cause i might try breastfeeding and see! Just want to know other moms personal experience with breastfeeding
A fed baby is a happy baby. It's obviously best to breastfeed but for some women it just doesn't work out. I had to work so hard to maintain production. I felt like all I did was nurse all day and she just wasn't getting enough. Finally I turned to fenugreek and lactation cookies. Those helped but if I didn't take them, I was right back where I started. I drank so much water. But ended up supplementing with formula and she liked the formula better than my breastfeeding milk anyway. So it worked out. I'm going to try again with this new baby. We exclusively breast fed for 1.5-2 months. And then started supplementing until 5 months. I was pregnant so I had to stop.
