No its not too late! Pump as much as you can and get some fenugreek. Maxi Milk from mountainmeadowherbs.com will also help, dont give up, you can do it! And if all else fails get the organic formula, you avoid over 5 toxins.
As long as your child is fed you’re doing a excellent job. It’s whatever works best for you. I have 5 kids. I tried so hard with m first to breastfeed and was heartbroken when I couldn’t because my milk never came in. My 2nd child being my son he had latching issues so to formula I went. 3rd I was able to nurse until she was 6 months and I had to return to work so went to formula. 4th I nursed her until she was 4 and my baby girl is 5 months and has only ever been breastfed. But you can make lactation cookies, take fenugreek and drink mother’s milk tea.
Didn’t even need to read your explanation 1 no you’re not a bad mom for not breastfeeding anyone who says otherwise are just snooty assholes fed is best 2 not everyone can breastfed you do what best for you and yours I breastfed for 2 weeks before quitting ppd got to me really bad and just couldn’t handle it anymore
Don’t feel bad at all. My first 8 years ago I was so adamant to breastfeed, I didn’t buy any formula or bottles etc she ended up being prem and in nicu for 2 weeks, unable to breastfeed so I pumped. Soon as we got joke I couldn’t pump enough for her, she couldn’t latch even though we tried so hard but it wasn’t happening. So she went on formula, I became depressed as felt like a failure, but then I realised that it doesn’t matter she’s on formula, she had breastmilk at the most important time and it helped her tons, giving formula was best as it stopped us getting stressed trying to breastfeed, and meant my baby had a full tummy with no worries etc if it’s what’s best for you then you shouldn’t feel bad at all. If you want to go back to breastfeeding you can it’s not too late to if that’s what you want, just means pump as much as you can and any time you you are able to put baby to breast as much as you can.

Look into the Willow or Elvie breast pump! Maybe one of them can help you pump without stressing all out.
Also fed is best so if you want to be done then be done. Your health is important as well
It’s your decision of course Breastmilk is nutritionally best but it isn’t your only option.
If you can continue to breastfeed that’s best for your bub but formula is fine too if for some reason you choose not to breastfeed or it’s too stressful
You are not bad mum if you stop breastfeeding nothing wrong with formula!!!
Breastfeeding is hard do what is best for you
Formula or breast fed, as long as baby is fed
No. Your not a bad Mom. Fed is best. No worries
Don’t feel bad. As long as baby is eating it’s good. Remember FED IS BEST.
All that matters is your baby is fed, you are not a bad mom
No, your a bad mom for neglecting your children and quitting breastfeeding is definitely NOT neglect. You do what makes you happy and your baby. Good luck Mama.
First of all breastfeeding or formula feeding doesn’t make anyone a good or a bad mom. Love your kids and put their needs before your own. That’s what makes a good mom.
Starting your period shouldnt matter. Its definately not too late.
Don’t worry another minute about it!! A happy healthy baby is what counts.
Fed is best. Feed your baby however you want
I’m right there with you with a 10 week old. I go back to work on Monday. I have slowly took out one or 2 pumping sessions ever couple days. Pump a little out when your breast start hurting. Your body will slowly cut back on your milk supply. The lack of sleep is killing me already. So I started with skipping my night time pumping. like everyone else said. A fed baby is a happy baby!
