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.

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.

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

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.

a.mama22 Can’t hurt to try! I tried both times and wasn’t a fan and neither were my babies.
okhristich I pump and feed my baby girl. My breast milk came in super late for some reason,
milkymama92 Breastfeeding is hard work but so rewarding for both you and your baby. It's definitely worth giving
