Some mommas don't realize what a blessing it is to be able to make enough milk for their babies...i wanted so badly to be able to be one of those mommas...and it may sound stupid to some mommas that have no desire ro breast feed but for me, its all i wanted...
now I have to sit here and watch my baby be in pain bc he can't digest the formula...it breaks my heart and makes me feel like a horrible mom...💔
Breast feeding moms...please count your blessings...im super jealous of you...😢
I understand how you feel. I was only able to breast feed a short time and it was a full struggle even then, one night my supply went away and never came back. I never got "engorged" or anything along those lines. It depressed me when i had to give her formula. If your sons tummy is hurting him that bad make sure and keep trying diff formulas. They have soy ones, and lactose intolerant ones as well.
@lulu85_18 no no health issues...my body just won't make milk...i drank the tea, took fenugreek, ate oatmeal and everything else and NOTHING worked...then I had a prescription from my Dr to help boost my supply but it did nothing aswell...then I got mastitis...now that I'm recovered from that I get about 10ml combined when pumping for an hour...and lil man got so used to bottle nipples in the nicu that he won't take my boob at all...😩😭
I’m sorry you’re going through this. My son had tummy issues so I had to go weeks trying a special formula with predigested proteins in it.
It depleted my supply, but I was able to get my supply back up with pretty much having him nurse every two hours. It was exhausting.
It is a health issue? No luck with the help of a lactation consultant? So sorry. 😞
@laciemarie yes I've tried about 4 different formulas now...sensitive ones also n nothing's worked...im trying to stay away from the soy ones cuz everything I've researched says that's not the greatest for babys
