I see both sides of this, feeding your baby any way is beautiful. Taking care of them, caring enough to even ask this.
But also, it won’t hurt you to, as you put it, “not be lazy” and just do what’s best for your child. They’re only little once, this is only a small portion of their life. Just because something is easier and you don’t feel like doing it, that’s not really the greatest reason. I guess what I’m saying is, I get it, it can be hard, it’s also beautiful and rewarding and usually becomes this thing that you don’t want to end and creates the most beautiful bond. IMO being lazy or just not feeling like it is a terrible reason, but on the flip side, really all that baby needs, is a happy healthy mom.
If you can’t be happy breastfeeding or it’s not worth it to you, that’s okay to as long as you don’t resent your baby or are depressed or any of the negative things. I’ve breastfed all three of my children, all with the thought in my mind that this is me doing everything I possibly can to give my child the best, as much as I can. This is a small step in the rest of their life. It’s a fleeting moment and it’s worth it, they’re worth the effort.
Anyways, just my opinion. I can see it either way, I hope there is clarity there. From someone if not my opinion
I really feel like your baby may have a tongue or lip tie. Turns out that’s why I wasn’t a breastfeeding baby. It’s a relatively new thing but breastfeeding became a breeze once it was figured out. It shouldn’t been something excruciating or hurting you. It may be sore but this strongly suggests a tie. Please check before giving up! It can cause teeth and mouth/speaking/eating issues when they’re older. I had mastitis, thrush, both twice, my nips cracked and bleeding. Pumping 24/7 and leaking and spraying milk. Also since your supply is good maybe it’s more than enough? Do you have a fast let down? I used to lay my baby straight up and down sometimes in the weirdest positions to get her to latch. But 7 drs and nurses missed her ties. I suffered and she did for weeks. I had to syringe feed my poor baby. I tried so hard and everything ended up working out. She self weaned at close to a year
your supply is probably just fine, at 5 days old baby doesn’t need that much. I exclusively pumped for 6 months because my daughter never latched right but I wanted to give her breast milk as I believe that’s best. I wouldn’t give up just yet mama!
I tried for 6 weeks with my first i was determined to do it but unfortunately my supply just stop ( i had a really complicated c section and hard recovery which i think was the reason my supply stop) but once i started formula my son was so much happier and so was i.
With my second i didnt even hesitate to start off with formula straight away (which was lucky because i had nothing come in at all)
Fed is best. If baby is full baby is happy and so will you be.
It gives you freedom and your husband can share the feeding load as well
Breastfed for two weeks just so she could get the colostrum( might have spelled wrong). Then went to formula cause honey that leaking mess was not for me:joy:
I breastfeed for a few days with all 4 of my kids and switched to formula. Theirs not right or wrong answer as long as baby is feed.
Being a new Mom brings plenty of challenges of its own. My first of four boys would not latch on and it caused frustration for him and for me. I was able to fully breastfeed my next three sons, and that worked too. But I have zero regrets about my firstborn being exclusively bottle fed. It allowed us to bond and me to spend more time with him because I wasn’t taking a break from spending time with him to pump every two hours and neither of us were frustrated anymore. Let yourself and baby off the hook and enjoy this time. #noguilt
Fed is best.
Mama however you choose to feed your baby, it’s okay. Don’t let anyone guilt you into doing something you will regret.
Pumping exclusively is hard. Most of the time it leads to pain and resentment. You have enough to worry about, just do what feels best at heart.
I have had 4 kids breast fed 3 as 1 like you wouldn’t take to it . DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP . I fed 1 for 6 months the other 2 for 6 weeks I lasted 2 days of crying for us both it just wouldn’t work and thats ok . As a mum you know you’ve tried your best . This won’t be the only time you feel guilty regarding your kids. For those times you feel guilty just remember how fantastic you are everyday . Believe me when they’re older and you mention it they will give it a zero seconds thought but will remember all the other stuff like forgetting to put their favourite sarnie in for packed lunch . Go easy on yourself its hard enough xxxx
Don’t. Fed is best. Don’t let other people mame you feel bad for it either. I pumped for the first 4 months and simply could not handle it anymore. It’s hard. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself and baby comfortable!
Oh new momma…its Okay. All that matters is that your baby is being fed.
I personally had no interest in breastfeeding either of my kids…and for multiple reasons. Do not feel bad…you are feeding your baby…thats whats most important❤
I had the same thing. I just don’t produce much and have bigger breasts. Baby girl was born small and had latching issues, even after seeing various consultants and trying prescriptions, shields, pumps etc. I breastfed her for 3 weeks, but she obviously wasn’t getting enough. I pumped every 2 hours during the day and 4 hours at night. It just didn’t work for us. It was to the point that I tried hand expressing (I was embarrassed, even in my own home with hubby because I felt like a cow). I put her on formula and she’s thriving. A friend of a friend had the same problem and used goat milk for her baby when she couldn’t produce to breastfeed. As long as baby is fed, that’s what matters. And it’s ok to feel sad, upset, guilty, etc about whatever choice you make. Being a parent, especially a mom, is hard. Fed is best, no matter what. Hugs, hon.
Remember to take care of you too or you can’t take care of baby as well. Ask for help, take a break, do something for you too. You can’t pour from an empty cup
You need to do what is best for you & your baby! 
It might be hard to not feel guilty, but mama… don’t feel guilty or allow anyone else to make you feel guilty about your choice. Your baby won’t know any different!
If you truly want to breastfeed direct from source - Have you had her latch evaluated by a lactation consultant or her ped? Sometimes it could be a tongue or lip tie.
There’s this gadget that’s hands free and easy to use… it’s called the Willow breast pump… as long as the baby is fed you’re fine
There’s nothing wrong with choosing to formula feed. My son exclusively formula feed from 4m on. But if you want to try to resolve the latching issue then you should get with a lactation specialist. Good luck.
It dosent matter either way as long as you’re feeding the baby and you’re healthy
I’d have an appointment with a lactation consultant and fix the latching issue then there will be no need to pump.
A happy, healthy, rested, & comfortable momma makes for the healthiest and happiest babies!
Food is food and there is not a damn thing wrong with preferring formula to the boob. You’ve shared your body with your baby for the past 9 months and it’s TOTALLY acceptable and sufficient to keep it all to yourself and do what YOU are comfortable with. Your baby will not care as long as he/she is being fed. As for your husband, just be open and vulnerable with how you feel and don’t ask. Just tell him this is how you feel and this is what you want and I’m sure he will support you if he is a half decent person. And, if not, tell him he is more than welcome to strap on the pump every 2 hours and see how he likes being an exhausted milk-maid then punch him in the butthole so he has a fraction of the added discomfort from giving birth for good measure.
Just take care of yourself sis, that’s the best thing you can do in your “4th trimester”.
Try nipple shields, also your supply with keep getting low if you continue to just formula feed, breastfeeding is all about supply and demand
I was in a very similar spot with breastfeeding. I had a very rough emergency c-section and he was 6ish weeks early. I had HELLP syndrome and needed blood transfusions and lots of medication for blood pressure. I spent 6 days in the hospital. Our little guy was in the NICU for 17 days.
I still tried to pump and breastfeed but just found it so exhausting. I felt so much shame when they would question how much I was getting up at night to pump because I had a low supply or wasn’t bringing in enough, but I was just so exhausted. A lc watched me pump one day in the nicu after days of power pumping, to see if she could help and eventually she just said, “sweetie sometimes it just doesn’t work and it’s not for everyone and that’s okay.”
It is your body that just created a life and you deserve to feel rested and not anxious and in control and if that means formula, that’s perfectly fine.
My husband was the same but when he saw the added stress and how much I was struggling with it he was just as supportive to make the switch because the mommas matter too.
Do whatever is best for you sweets.
I felt guilty for stopping as well but I was on alot of meds post birth and I knew it was in my milk as well thay I ddnt want him consuming so I switched to formula. I felt guilty as well but as long as the child is fed you have nothing to worry about at all. FED IS BEST
Try to not feel bad! Feed your baby, by whatever means keeps them satisfied, and keep your sanity.
Personally I think you feel more guilt because you know how your husband feels. I wish I had stopped… I wish I wasn’t still breastfeeding… our first was formula fed, she’s now 11 almost 12 and happy and healthy! Our second is almost 2 and ebf and I hate it!! I’m sorry, I just do. I want my body back I want my freedom back and I wish I’d never given in to breastfeeding. I think it’s something you have to want 
or it’ll never be right. Best of luck to whatever you decide
Don’t feel guilty. Your baby will still be healthy as long as he or she is fed! Take care I’d yourself too in your journey!
I breast fed for two months and pumped. After two months I switch to formula because I went back to work and didn’t want to stress about pumping every few hours 
Regardless, fed is best.
Ma’am …… as long as they baby is fed, it’s your decision unless your husband can magically lactate he doesn’t have a right to make you feel any type of way. You gave breast milk feeding a chance and if it’s not your cup of tea…. Just do formula. 
I didn’t breast feed at all the whole time and it was soooooo much easier to hand the little tater tot a bottle for nap time instead of having to stop to breastfeed. 
You get to decide what methods you want to use to feed your baby.
That’s it. Nothing else matters. You get to decide. You can consider other’s thoughts and opinions but YOU decide.
Girl just pump and feed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I baby to breast fed for 7months and the rest of 27months it was pumped.
Don’t do what’s right for your husband. Do what works for you. His opinion does not matter when it comes to nursing. Don’t feel guilty doing what is right for you and your baby. None of us can tell you what that is. Just do what you can day by day. You can always change your mind too and tey something else.
Don’t feel guilty. After having my son, I tried to breastfeed, some days o got some, but we’ve mainly formula fed because breastfeeding became too much and I was more worried about feeding him than anything.
4 kids and my milk never came in for any of them. FED IS BEST!
Honey a fed baby is a healthy baby. I had difficulty with my first born cause I couldn’t produce enough to feed him. I went to multiple lactation specialist and everything. I felt so guilty because I was breastfed til I was a year old and it was pushed into me that formula is bad blah blah blah. Started subbing in formula with breast milk and ended up going full formula. My second had breast milk in the beginning and we moved her to formula because I was working full time. Both of my kids are happy, healthy wonderful people. My son is one of the smartest kids I have personally met. Do not be ashamed for feeding your child. Your baby feeds off of your energy. If you are miserable that baby will be too. Fed is best. Your baby will not lose any nutrients. They won’t develop crazy health problems. You have to take care of you to take care of your baby. Best wishes
Breastfeeding is not for everyone. Don’t let anyone shame you into anything that gives you so much stress that you cry. Your husband has no right to be disappointed in you. He can be disappointed that the baby is not getting breast milk, but that disappointment cannot transfer to you. He’s not the one doing any of the work. It takes a toll on your body, and time to pump,. That is time, effort, and stress that falls on you. Breast is not always best. Many people were raised on formula and are no less off than breastfed.
My son was like that, seemed to search but never find my nipples. When he did he’d clamp down real hard pull and let it go. It took over 2 weeks for him to stay on. I’d rub my nipples with a rough towel before he ate. It worked. I was told beforehand to do this to toughen nipples up, I only wished I’d listen because it hurt really bad!
Girlfriend, they r your boobs so YOU decide. Everyone has an opinion about this but does everyone have YOUR body? Nope! Do you! Zero guilt. Life’s too short. P.S. Talk to your husband bc u r assuming his feelings on the matter. Now, re-read my 1st sentence. 
I formula fed all 3 of my kids…they are fine. Do what’s best for you
Has she been assessed for tongue tie? There might be a reason for latch that can easily be fixed. If you choose to formula feed know that breastfeeding is awesome, but fed is best.
At the end of the day that’s what formula is there for. but I would keep stimulating my nips and trying with her a couple times a day just so that the milk doesn’t completely stop producing because she might decide to latch suddenly within the the next couple months or sooner. those antibodies are something that won’t be found in formula.
Have you consulted a lactation specialist for help with latching? I prefer latching over pumping any day!
Fed is best… don’t feel guilty do what’s best for your family. I breastfed for the first week. And after that I went to formula I tried to breastfeed with my first it didn’t work out. I felt guilty but it was best for me to just do formula… I bought everything to breastfeed and after getting started it was just stressful.
Use cabbage! Put in your bra Soaks the breastmilk right up. Or donate if thats an option for you.
Do what doesn’t make you stress. And if that’s formula feeding then so be it. Who cares if he was bf for 2 years. Good for his mom 
do what is best for YOU
Breastfeeding isn’t for everyone if you don’t want to do it or it’s causing you stress then stop as long as your babies fed and healthy everything is great
For the rest of your baby’s life you are going to experience some sort of guilt over something comes with the territory of being a parent. You need to do what is right for your family and in this instance as long as you baby is getting proper nourishment you don’t need to worry about anyone else. I breastfed my oldest for 3 weeks before I sent my husband to the store to get formula (she will be 20 in November). I have 3 more that I didnt even try with 18,12 and 4 and I have no regrets.
Fed is best, I didn’t breastfeed either and got flack from others, but it was my choice and I stuck with it.
Make the decision on what you want not what your hubby wants. As long as baby is healthy it shouldn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter how you get your baby the milk as long as she’s eating! Don’t let people make you feel like a bad mom for not breast feeding. I didn’t breast feed either of my kids. I tried with my daughter and had the same issue plus they gave her formula at the hospital cause I had complications and she was hungry. Breast feeding is good for her but she can still thrive on formula. My baby lost over a pound after the hospital i formula fed and in the last 2 months she’s gained almost 10 lbs. this is ultimately your decision and yours alone. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re wrong for feeding your baby how you choose to. FED IS BEST!
Your baby is fed. Period. Dont stress over it. None of my children would latch and I wasn’t producing much. I went to my OB and just cried hysterically and he told me STOP! He said it was adding to my depression. I chose to pump whenever I could and supplement breast milk into my regular formula feeding for at least the first 6 weeks and my babies were just fine, healthy and happy and I didn’t cry over it anymore. You do what you do good momma!!
Mental health is #1. Your baby is fed and healthy. That’s all that matters!
Don’t feel guilty. You tried, be done. Do what you need to do. I never even considered breastfeeding. I did not want to do it at all…so I simply didn’t. Anytime it was brought up, I simply stated I was not interested. Zero regrets and zero guilt here.
Fed is best mama…. She got some breast milk which is great! I breast fed my son for 3 1/2 months then I got stressed and lost my supply. I still latch to comfort nurse him but he’s 95% formula fed now 
and he’s thriving … you do what’s best for your family!
You do you because a stressed out mama is the worst thing. Enjoy your journey and do whats best for you
Okay so let me tell you what my doctor had told me my son was born premature so he was in the NICU for about 3 months and I tried my best to pump as much as I could to the point where my nipples were almost bleeding he was on oxygen so we couldn’t do skin on skin breastfeeding I was so discouraged and I felt so bad because I could see all the other moms had a healthy supply but mine was bare minimum. And I tried everything that I thought would help. I still wasn’t making enough to feed him and I felt really bad about it and when I consulted one of the baby doctors at the hospital she said I’m going to tell you something she said I have two children one was breastfed and one was formula that she said and they are both doing just fine but they are both smart they are both healthy they are both capable she said you’ve done more than what you could do and you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty about it she said some women experience what is called lactation failure your body just does not produce enough breast milk and for some women it’s just not fitting of their life or their mental state or their emotional state. Point is your child will be just fine if you decide that it is best for you to go to formula feeding the most important thing is that Mama is as happy as she can be because then she’s in a better way to take care of baby.
I would pump for a bit only for 1 reason. To freeze for when baby gets sick. If I had to change one thing from when I switched to formula that would’ve been it.
My first wouldn’t latch after having to take some formula on a readmittance to the hospital at 3 days old. So I pumped. For 3 weeks, I attached myself to a pump so I could give him breastmilk. And I was MISERABLE. The first day where I didn’t have to pump was like a breath of fresh air. If you don’t want to do it and you’ll be healthier mentally for using formula, than use formula. The best thing you can give your baby is a happy and healthy Mama.
You should continue to bottle your milk for baby or you will be wearing the milk so bottle it in between give her formula when you run low but it much better to breast ,ilk her
Formula fed both from from 2 weeks on, I think 3 with one of them. The first time the decision was hard as I couldn’t produce very much, but the second one I was like hell no, I’ll give it a whirl, but then my milk wasn’t shit so I just decided to formula feed. And my kids are fine. It was so good for my mental health (I struggle with anxiety and clinical depression even not pp) and to see my kids daddy be able to hold and feed them ( and help me with the work!) was fricken amazing! If I have another I’m not even gonna try. It’s damn expensive tho! Be prepared to spend like $200 a month or more on formula. I used similac pro total comfort.
I am in the same boat now…battling with the guilt of giving up breast feeding. My baby is 11 days old and I’m currently trying to dry up my supply.
I battled hard with my first baby. He didn’t latch well and was a lazy eater. I thought I had supply issues (more on that later), extremely painful let-downs and I discovered I also suffer from D-MER (a temporary bought of intense depression just before let-down occurs). Stuck to it for 6 months…and was only able to give him 1-2 feedings of breast milk a day and had to supplement with formula.
Fast forward to this baby, I wanted to try again but didn’t want to wear myself out with it like last time. I discovered it wasn’t really a supply problem I had but a draining problem. I tried EVERYTHING to get myself to drain more out but I just couldn’t get much out no matter what. Between that and the painful letdowns and the D-MER, my mental health was declining rapidly. I didn’t feel like I had any quality time with my baby and when I did, I was so mentally and physically taxed that I couldn’t enjoy it or be present.
So I decided to stop. And I have felt so much better since I made that decision. I still feel guilty though and every once in a while I will think I should give it another try before I completely dry up…but I know this is the best decision for me and my baby.
Good luck to you mama!
You do what you feel is best for both of you, don’t stress it will all be good in the end
Ok number 1. You do not listen to anyone that tells you you have to keep breastfeeding, and you don’t listen to anyone that tells you to stop either. You do what’s right for your family and most of all, your sanity. Number 2. THE GUILT IS MOTHER NATURES WAY OF MAKING SURE MOTHERS FEED THEIR BABIES. It’s actually a thing. Its hormonal. But mother nature doesn’t know about formula. It just knows about feeding baby being the right way. There is nothing wrong with formula if you choose to go that route. I remember the guilt. I remember it well. I made it 2 months with my 1st, But after the hormones left my body after I dried up, I was like “why was I even sad?” Because my baby was still healthy, still happy, and still thriving. And I had my body back. And I could take preworkout again and not worry about working out dropping my supply, I didn’t have to worry about anything. And my baby and I still had the best bond ever and still do at 5 years old. That being said, my second, we had his tongue and lip tie revised at 6 weeks old and he was an amazing nurser so we made it 22 months. It was magical… but by then I needed to be done for my sanity. Here came the guilt again. But I knew it would dry up with my hormones and milk and it did. And I was so happy I had my body back again. So happy I got pregnant again lol this time I’m teetering on if I should keep breastfeeding or switch to formula because we are having issues and nothing I have changed has helped. Here’s the guilt again, but you need to plow through the guilt. Know you aren’t alone. Know it’s just mother nature’s way of making sure mamas do right by their kids unknowing to the glory that is formula. ITS OK. Breastfeed if you would like, formula feed if you would like. It’s whatever is best for YOU and YOUR family.
You do what is best for you and your baby!!! I know how you feel…was able to breastfeed my oldest but not my twins or my youngest. No reason to be stressed or guilty do what makes is best for you!
Fed is best. a healthy baby is the ultimate goal. Never feel guilty for feeding your baby, whether it be formula or breastmilk!
You do what’s best for you. With my first he was 6 weeks early and would not latch for 5 months, I EP for him , was a lot of work in the beginning but then I got on more of a schedule, and had a decent supply that I didn’t have to pump as often.
Have you tried talking to a lactation person for latching, they can help! sometimes it all has to with how your holding, or just not taking to your nip…
I had to use a nip shield with my 2nd he wouldn’t latch for long or at all without one. He’s now two months and I’m successfully breast feeding without one. Regardless of what you do, if you want to breast feed, formula, it’s up to you and what you think is best for you and your mental state through this journey 
I did both! When I was in the mood to pump, I would. If I couldn’t, I’d give formula. Do what’s best for your family, mama.
Maybe just pump and save what you have for when the baby gets sick? But keep giving formula.
It’s okay to be done but I would make sure baby is not you he tied.
I only formula fed and my two year old is above and beyond smart and so sweet. Fed is best, no matter how it happens. Do what is best for you and your lifestyle.
This is your choice. Not your husbands but yours I did not think twice about breast feeding
Feed the baby. Doesn’t matter how. Hubby gets a say when the milk comes from his boobs!
As long as your baby is getting fed what she needs, than you’re doing an AMAZING job! Don’t let anyone tell you differently 
I formula fed all 3 of my kids and they are just fine!
Try nipple shields first.
I breastfed my son for 4 months. I wanted to do it until he turned 1. But it was a struggle for me. I have inverted nipples (sorry for TMI), which made it hard for him to latch, so I had to use nipple shields. But after 4 months, I ended up having to switch to feeding him formula. I wasn’t producing enough. I felt like I was feeding him every hour, rather than every 2. I tried to pump, but even then I could only get enough for 1 bottle worth. So that meant saving what I pumped for days whenever we’d be out and I didn’t have the privacy to breastfeed him. And not being able to pump enough meant momma was the only one who could feed him. He also wasn’t gaining weight like he should’ve been. So I had no choice but to switch. At first, I would mix my milk with his formula, just to get him started and use to it. I was afraid to fully switch him over at first. But after the first week, he was fully on formula. It made everything a little easier. His father and other relatives could finally feed him and keep him overnight. I know he got the best nutrients he needed from my milk the first week he was born.
This is absolutely a choice that YOU have to make. No one else can decide that nor should our opinions matter. Whatever you are comfortable with is what should be accepted. No more no less. Congratulations on becoming a mommy!!
Nipple shields!! My son is 5 weeks wouldn’t latch and they saved my breastfeeding journey x
If you don’t want to do it, don’t. Because you’re just going to give yourself resentment and agitation about it. It’s HARD. You have to want to do it, honestly, or it’s not going to last long anyway.
If your husband has an issue with it, let him know he’s free to do it himself. 
I HATED pumping. There is no reason to do something you don’t want to do when there is another way to feed babe and him be just as healthy!
IF you want to try to breastfeed, look for your local le leche league. If you do not, that is a perfectly acceptable option. We live in modern times, with other options available to us. I have done both and honestly, both provided different but equally enjoyable bonding experiences.
I formula fed both of mine. I didn’t pump. No guilt.
I would give it every thing you’ve got first before you decide to give up. My oldest was tongue & lip tied which went undiagnosed until she was 2 months old when I finally had her evaluated by an lactation specialist who referred us to a pediatric dentist who specializes in ties. We had it revised & her latch improved tremendously to where we didn’t need a shield anymore. At 3 months, we figured out that she had a dairy intolerance so I cut all dairy from my diet until she was 10 months old when I reintroduced it slowly. I did tons of research & joined le leche league & went to support meetings & made tons of new friends who were nursing as well. I fought so hard for our breastfeeding journey & she ended up nursing for 39 months. The bond is absolutely indescribable & I’m so glad I hung in there. I hated pumping & was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with her for her first year. My second nursling is 10 weeks & doesn’t have any ties but she’s got a dairy allergy & she’s allergic to tree nuts. I can promise you I won’t go 39 months this time cuz damn but I plan to nurse her for 2 years as long as she doesn’t self wean before then. It’s not for the faint of heart I can assure you but it’s so rewarding. The best piece of advice I ever heard was don’t give up on a hard day. Y’all are both still learning together. Just because it isn’t perfect in the beginning doesn’t mean you have to stop. Give yourself some grace & some time. Your milk is still coming in & she will likely start cluster feeding soon to regulate your supply. Try different positions & holds, “sandwich” your breast to see if she latches better, use a shield, change up the environment/lighting/mood to see if that makes a difference. It’s hard either way mama but no matter what you decide to do, don’t let yourself feel guilty. I’d just hate for you to give up on something so special before you throw in the towel & if you decide formula feeding is what’s best for your family, ultimately it’s your decision. Hang in there. You’re doing great & congratulations on your sweet little babe
I breastfed my oldest for 3 mos and she lost weight instead so I supplemented but her losing weight definitely messed with me, with my youngest I breastfed strictly 3 months just because I did with the oldest and stressed about doing for one and not the other. Don’t do that btw lol with my third I will not be breastfeeding just formula
Please reconsider… Pump the first three months at least, as to give the baby what it needs!
It’s your decision momma. 
As long as your baby is fed it doesn’t matter whether it’s formula or breast milk.
Nothing wrong with not wanting to breastfeed.
I didn’t breast feed and never planned to. Nobody’s business but your own.
My first born didn’t latch and was given formula, each baby is different, as long as we tried is what I say lol
I’d personally look into the wireless pumps if you feel
Tied to a pump but regardless as long as baby is fed he will absolutely be fine no shame In that
Your husband wants your breast milk?
Does she have a tongue tie?
Does anyone here know how to make breastmilk soap?
Have you tried a lactation consultant?
I never breast fed my 4 kids and they never had an issue what is the big deal anyway
Do what’s best for you. I pumped every 6 hours about 20 oz at a time for a year. It was work but I’m cheap and didn’t want to buy formula. My kids both wouldn’t latch. It took me about a month to train my body to get to only 4 pumpings a day but for us it worked. If you do pump and your supply is good I would get a separate freezer for milk. We couldn’t buy a frozen pizza for 2 years because we didn’t have space. But do what’s best for you.
Fed is best! You need to do what is best for you!! Keep your chin up, Momma
You do you mama. Do what I’d best for you. She will be fine on formula!!
Fed 
Is Best
If formula feeding is going to be less stressful on you and baby, do it!
There is no shame!!
Do whatever is best for you and your family
A fed baby is a healthy baby.
Only thing that matters is the baby eats.
Don’t feel guilty. It’s your body. Your choice.
FED IS BEST. Your mental health is way more important.
Fed is best so whatever your more comfortable with x
