Fuck no! I have been on this rollercoaster of shame 3 times momma. My first baby I was 22 and had no idea what I was doing all the while working full time going back to work 2 weeks after having her with her abusive piece of shit father who was also a child. I tried really hard to keep up on breastfeeding and pumping but dried up after about 3 or 4 months. My second baby I got to stay home til she was 1. I breastfed and formula bottle fed her for the whole first year. Then I had my boy 4 months ago. I tell yah if he was my first child I would have never breastfed a single baby nor would I have probably ever had more. The entire pregnancy was horrible and then we got to breastfeeding. He was a fucking animal and wouldn’t latch wouldn’t gain any weight. I tried like hell for the first month and then said I’m done. Gave him formula which we have had to change 3 times but he’s growing big and strong and I dont feel like I’m dying anymore. So it worked out. Just do what is best for you snd baby ok momma
Heres my little beast
Why would that make you a bad mom? Hun, I had both of my kids cut out of me, almost died both times, attempted to breastfeed and almost died then had to formula feed both kids. And ya know what? They’re both happy healthy and weird! As long as the kids are healthy loved and fed why does it matter?
Nope! As long as that baby’s being fed, your doing amazing.
Of course not I never breast fed any of mine. You do what you feel is best for you and baby. There is way to much pressure these day on breast fed or formula fed babies. As long as baby is happy and fed by formula or breast that’s all that matters and your being a great mum either way x
Absolutely not! Fed is best
I thought if I didn’t breastfeed my first born I was a terrible mom
With my second child I no longer felt that guilt
Not at all as long as your baby is fed. Fed is best remember that.
Do what is best for you and your baby. If you are exhausted, fed your baby formula. A fed baby is all that matters. Don’t be so hard on yourself! You are loved! You’re doing great!
Fed is best! Feed that baby however you need to!
No. Absolutely not. But the fact that you’re questioning if it makes you a bad mom, makes me guess you’re having second thoughts. Only you can make the right decision whatever that might be. Just be careful if you’re struggling with the choice.
YOU DO YOU GIRL!!! My baby boy is 6 months old and has been on Similac since birth, he is in the 93rd. Percentile for height and his weight is on point!!! He’s a healthy happy baby! Take care of your self sister. You’re not in this alone.
No, do whatever is best for you.
Do not ever worry as Long as your baby is fed. Don’t feel less for any reason. As long as she fed you’re doing awesome!
A feed baby is best. Weather it be breast or formula
Do what’s best for you and baby. If you want to continue breastfeeding but feel like you dont make enough, you can always supplement formula. That’s what I do with my son.
A fed baby is best. Period.
It DOES NOT make you a bad mom! We’re about to hit a year breastfeeding, but I supplemented with formula when my milk wouldn’t come in at first. Knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that my baby was full dropped my anxiety level a ton, and wouldn’t you know it, as soon as the stress was gone my milk came right in. I love breastfeeding and feel incredibly lucky to have been able to do it, and I will always be proud of the hard work my nugget and I put into it…but you know what? I will forever be grateful for formula for helping me to know that my baby was full.
I will never understand the mommy wars over how other people choose to feed their babies.
Momming is hard no matter what, and I think you’re doing a wonderful job!
You are mama, if you feel that’s what best for you and baby then you do what you need to! It doesn’t make you a bad mama not at all
No it doesn’t. You have to feed your baby! I tried to breast feed but no matter what I tried I didn’t produce enough milk, in order to keep my baby healthy I had to switch to formula. It happens
I wasnt able to breastfeed because I couldn’t produce enough milk. Dont feel bad for feeding your child. My boys are over 50th percentile for height and weight. Dont knock it till you rock it. #fedisbest
Nothing wrong with formula dont listen to everyone x
No,as long as you’re baby is eating that’s all that matters
FED IS BEST. And if anyone says you’re a bad mom tell them where to shove it. 
The first few weeks is most important so you’ve done that !!
Nooo, feed that baby! My first i bf for 6weeks. My second 2yrs 8m. They are both assholes. Completely healthy, smart, thriving boys!
Feeding your baby makes you a good mom
I feel this on a deep emotional level. I have been having this same issue. I just started crying reading some comments.
My first I was so successful with BFeeding with my second I feel so depleted an no one seems to understand
Not at all! Fed is best!!
Starving your child to avoid switching to formula would make you a bad mother…
I supplemented with all mine. They got a bottle or 2 a day of formula the other breast milk You can do both
i had to switch to formula due to low supply as well my milk ended up just stopping cause it was so low. seeing my daughter get more healthy and chunky after switching made me feel like a GOOD mom for getting her the nutrients she needed regardless of how she got them i was upset at first but her being healthy and chunky and seeing the difference made it worth it. doesnt make you a bad mom or mean you failed cause as long as your child is healthy you are winning
As long as that baby is being fed it doesnt matter. I switched to formula when my daughter was 2 and 1/2 months because i couldnt make enough milk and she was loosing to.much weight. And you know what my daughter is soooo smart and tall.
my son hated breast milk whether it was mine or donors, he’s on formula and i don’t give a rats ass! fed it best!!! it doesn’t matter what as long as they’re happy and full and growing mama!
Absolutely not. In all honesty, my first was formula fed and it made me a BETTER mother! I wasn’t constantly worrying about how much he got and it made it easier to focus on the rest of my baby! Do what you have to do to be the best mother you can be 
You do you. You know what your baby needs. I struggled with nursing and ended up still nursing until 2. But everyone is different. Do what is best
With my 1st baby I did combination feeding - breast and then some formula too. You have to do what works best for you and your family and don’t feel bad about it!!
No way!! I was able to nurse all 3 of my children but if I had a problem or found it uncomfortable, switching to formula would be a no brainer. You do what is best for you and your child and don’t let anyone judge you.
Not even a little bit! FED is best! Do not let ANYONE make you feel bad for it! Breastfeeding is not for everyone, and there are a variety of reasons to not do it or not stick with it, and there is nothing wrong with that. Not everyone is able to, to begin with. you do what is best for YOU and YOUR baby, and screw what anyone else may think!
A fed baby is a happy baby a happy baby is a happy momma don’t feel like your a bad mom for feeding your baby any way you do it!
You can do both momma. My baby girl is 2 now and fine. Keep your head up.
I agree at 6 months I had to switch to formula
Came here for the comments and wasn’t disappointed so much love and support here it’s heart warming
I had to switch to formula, it was too stressful for me to exclusively breastfeed, just remember, fed is best
I formula fed all 3 of mine. My first was born with a cleft palate and wasn’t able to breastfeed so i used bottles w formula. They are all fine.
The choice is yours. Not bad either way
Go get your pretty ass a cookie and relax. You’re doing absolutely fabulous, breast or bottle.
No it doesn’t make you a bad mom. With my 1st I could only nurse for like 5 months and with my other two I couldn’t keep up either. And my nipples hurt so bad. I switched to formula.
LMFAO no. Not feeding your baby would make you a bad mom. FUCK the formula haters
You are not a bad mother if you do not breastfeed or stop breast feeding. I tried so hard to breastfeed my son, but he lost a decent amount of weight. Found out I was not producing enough milk, so I started formula feeding. He gained weight and is now a healthy 9 year old. I only formula fed my daughter and she is a healthy 3 year old. When I found out I was not producing enough milk and watching my son lose weight, I felt like a failure. People called me weak for not trying harder because I’m a woman, I should be able to feed my child… but after seeing my son thrive once on formula, I knew I did the right thing and that I know what is best for my child. You are not a failure, you are not weak, and you are not a bad mom. YOU ARE A STRONG AND AWESOME MOTHER! Fed is best!
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
You make the best decision for you as well
Not at all! I produced almost no milk whatsoever. Don’t listen to all thks “breast is best” bullshit. As long as your child is FED that’s all that matters
Why are you pumping Instead of nursing?
NOT AT ALL! Feed is best. Do whatever u need to mama… 
No it doesn’t! And anyone that thinks so should be ashamed of themselves xxx
Switching to formula was one of the best things we did for our kids, our own sanity, and our relationship. Not a bad mom at all!! Fed and happy is what matters 
You are not bad. Breast is best but there are times where we need to quit or must quit and there comes Fed is best.
My boy started nursing strike at 5 months and until now I m not successful in making him suck again. If I was stuck to breast is best he would have died starving. I started formula as i don’t get time to pump regularly. So feed your baby for appetite. Whether breast or formula is ok
Fed is best!!! Doesn’t matter how as long as baby is getting nutrients! Does not make you a bad mom!!
I breast feed and formula feed. Sometimes I don’t pump enough
If it’s taking a toll on your mental health to breastfeed, it’s NOT bad to formula feed. Maybe try supplementing for a while and still breastfeeding certain times a day and pumping in between
I never produced breast milk could only feed my children formula does that make me a bad mom nope so no it don’t make you a bad mom as long as they’re fed
Whatever makes mom happy makes baby happy dont worry about what other people say . I changed when my son was 3 months I just didn’t listen to the negative people
I fed my daughter strictly breastmilk for the 1st month
My brother passed away when she was a month old & most of my milk dried up
I would breast feed her for 15 minutes on each side then bottle feed her because I felt something was better than nothing. After that,I would give her a bottle. This went on for the next 9 months. At 10months,my husband brought the note in before i was done feeding her. She looked at me,looked at the bottle,looked at me & grabbed the bottle. That was the last time i breastfed her. 2 days later,her first tooth came in! No, many women make the choice not to breastfeed at all, however, if you want to, there are resources like lactation nurses that can provide suggestions to increase your milk supply.
Absolutely not do what you need to do to keep your baby healthy.
That does not make you a bad mom at all. I could not keep up with my son’s appetite.
You can always do both. I pumped for my daughter for 3 months then I had to go back to work. Had to start taking meds for anxiety and depression to be able to semi cope with work
Is your child safe? Healthy? Loved?
If you answered yes to those questions, you’re not a bad mom.
No. End of story. Feed your baby.
No, it does not make you a bad mother. Some ladies can do it without a problem, some can’t.
No!! I know how you feel though…i felt the same guilt
I ran out of milk at almost three months , I was sad and upset at first but my daughter thrived and did better on formula. I just couldn’t satisfy her. Do what’s best for you many women only use formula and their babies are still happy and healthy
#noguilt
Fed is best!!! Do what you need to do!!! I strictly formula fed all three of my babies… all are thriving amazing children
Nope. I had to switch with my oldest. I spent more time with the stupid pump than i did with him. It just wasn’t worth it.
I went straight to formula with my youngest.
Feeding your child, is not being a bad mom. Do what works for you, just remeber it doesnt have to be an all or nothing proposition.
My son was formula fed cause i couldn’t produce enough due to reasons… my daughter was breast and formula fed… all i would say id feed them babies that’s all that matters…
The only thing that makes a bad mom is not loving or caring for your child. Whatever is best for you and your baby
As long as they eat.
Society pressure moms to breastfed but imagine how many babies would have died without formula ! Feed your baby any way that keeps them full and healthy 
She isn’t worrying, so no need for you to worry. As long as she gets fed, that’s all that matters. Mom fed me a concoction of corn syrup, sugar, and evaporated milk … on a dairy farm!! My grandfather was not impressed. 65 years later, nobody knows or cares. Enjoy your baby and don’t let anybody spoil it for you.
You do what feels right by you and your baby. No need to ask for anyone’s opinion. They are like butt holes, we all have one.
Your daughter doesn’t know the difference, as far as she sees it mom is feeding her. I wasn’t able to breastfeed because of my anxiety disorder and the hospital made me feel like breastfeeding was the only way. I felt horrible when I had to feed him formula but he was eating. He didn’t care it was a bottle and not a boob, all he knew was his mom and dad loved him enough to feed him.
No, as it goes “Feed is Best”, so try not to feel bad. I had to put mine on formula for different reasons and ended up being the best 
Wtf. Hell no. And anyone who says differently can fuck off. Fed is best. You are a good mama
I really don’t understand the unnecessary stress mom’s put themselves through.
When I was pregnant I “thought “ I was going to breastfeed. After an emergency c section and tons of fluids during labor, I was left with no breast milk. I just never produced a single drop.
Did I torture myself? No
Did I even consider myself a failure? Absolutely not.
I just went to the grocery store and got formula. A good quality organic formula.
My baby is now 4 months and it’s big and healthy.
Formula has made my Life so much easier. I can go to work without worries that my baby is gonna run out of food and I won’t be around.
It’s just easier.
Don’t feel bad.
If your child is happy healthy and safe no choice you make makes you a bad mom. Feed him!!!
No! And don’t let anyone make you feel like you are in the wrong! With my first and second I tried and didn’t produce much at all. With my third, he was 6 weeks early so I tried, really hard. Changed my diet, and tried some other tips to help produce. For about two weeks I was able to get some, not much, but some was more than nothing, most I got was 60 ml. I finally switched because things were very hectic while he was in the NICU and I had two others to take care of. FED IS FED! All your baby wants is food, whether it’s breast or bottle.
You are a great mom because clearly you are worried about making sure your baby has enough. Just remember: fed is best.
Don’t even for one second question. Do what’s best today for your child
End of story
Nooooooooooo it doesn’t
No never would you be a bad mom. She still getting fed either way
This shouldn’t even be a question you feel guilty handling without advice! Girl, I didn’t even try to breast feed for serious reasons and my daughter is perfectly brilliant! Feed your baby!!! Moms choice is best
Fed baby is best
Take that unnecessary pressure to please fake ppl off your back ASAP
Breast feeding didn’t work out for my son and I. We switched him to formula when he was about 2 weeks old. He is happy and healthy as can be about to be 3. I completely understand what you are going through. I felt the same guilt and worry when making the choice. You just want to get it right for them. I’m telling you, if they are fed, loved and cared for, that is what matters. Good luck mama!
Not at all your not a bad mom …good grief if baby is demanding more then I would introduce her to formula less stress for you, maybe that is why you are not producing milk while under stress
Not at all. I breastfed my little one for seven weeks then it started to affect my diabetes and was actually dangerous for me. My son has been best fed since he was 2 months old and he has put on weight well.
A fed baby is a happy baby.
Nope. I breastfed until I couldn’t take the stress of pumping constantly and her latching issues. Fed is best and that’s the most important part.
Sweetie, I feel ur pain as I had to swap to formula for my first cause he weren’t getting enough, second baby I thought I’ll try again. He was tongue tied so couldn’t bare the pain & he weren’t latching. After that I adapted the attitude fed is best. Don’t matter what way just fed and make sure they are happy.
All mine was bottle fed and now 21, 13 & 6 and all perfectly healthy
Forget to pump??? Are you serious. You have one job to do 
No. I had to switch to formula when my daughter was a month old as we were just getting no where and it was stressing me out at a time when I was already suffering PND
Once she started on formula it was a calmer time for us both xxx
No shame momma just feed that baby 
I sooooo wanted to breast feed but every time I did I would get a headache … headache and a tiny baby did not mix well!!! Went to formula
