I feel like a failure. My baby is about to be 6 months and I'm just not making enough milk as I like. Hes been breastfed this whole time but I'm becoming defeated because I dont produce enough to be able to leave him to even go and get my hair done. Really considering switching him to formula for my sanity. Am I selfish? Literally sitting here crying.

I've breast fed my daughter for six months and Im going to have to switch to formula. I noticed a decrease weeks ago and I cried too! I feel like I'm robbing her of what she likes and i hate it.
Not at all I’ve been doin it four yrs and I’m so over it some ppl do it 6 weeks so it’s your body
No you’re not selfish!!! Don’t ever feel like that you’re trying and have done nothing but your best. I breastfed my kids up till they were 3 or 4 months and switch to formula.
How did they do with the formula? Was it hard to transition them?
@andreapena26, they actually did really good, yes it was kinda hard the 1st day but after the second day they were fine
You’re not selfish! Continue to nurse as much as you can, drink tons of water and pump in between nursing. Use formula only if after a few days you’re worried he’s not drinking enough, but give him rice cereal and start a fruit or vegetable. You care about him and that’s why you’re figuring it out!!
