Mom guilt is really setting in. I really did want to breast feed my little man but I’m afraid I’m…

Has your milk come in yet? I had to supplement the first few weeks but we were able to cut the formula out.

Don't feel guilty, you do what's best for both of you. If your body isn't producing enough for him, there is no shame in switching to formula.

Have you reached out to your LC?

Yes I've been in the same boat, it usually takes a good week for your milk to come in. But I've leaned that the more he feeds the more you produce. Try eating oatmeal, drinking lots of water and Gatorade! And if you have a pump try pumping in between feeds

Hes so cute 😊

Pretty sure all ftms share that same concern but you are probably making the perfect amount. Theres a breastfeeding group here but all are happy to help also.

Just keep trying to breastfeed if thats what you want and ultimately ditch the supplement so it doesnt hurt your supply.

You're doing fantastic so far 😀

It takes a while for milk to come in. With my second i couldnt get him to latch so i couldn't feed him from the breast i did alot of skin to skin i supplemented with formula for 2 weeks and i pumped milk. I couldnt get him to latch until he was almost a month old, but i was very determined to breast feed and it all worked out in the end. Its hard and stressful in the begining but it get better after a while and then its like second nature. Hang in there.

I really wanted to do breastfeed my son but after the first few weeks of us trying and trying I just wasn't producing enough milk and we were both getting frustrated. I would dread when feeding time came around (which you know with an infant is A LOT OF TIMES) Lol I switched to formula and we were both so much happier. I was disappointed. But ultimately you just have to do whatever you feel is best for you and baby! There is no right or wrong aslong as baby is fed!!
