Bottle fed my 1 1/2 day old formula, feeling like a shit mom.
I told myself I would breastfeed and I want to... Of course its all still brand new but my nipples hurt so bad and he will only latch to my left breast. So tonight we got home from the hospital and self expressed 10ml fed that to him but then he was still showing signs of hunger and my mother in law telling me he's hungry hurry and feed him, I made him a 2oz bottle and he drank a little over half an oz.
Long story short I'm lost and feel like a shit mother for giving him formula when everyone says not too.
Update: my husband bought a pump and THANK GOD AND HUBBY because I've been pumping and have no just been bottle feeding him breast milk. I'm so thankful for everyone's advice on this topic because I have so many in my life who swear I'm doing wrong by supplementing, I'm very glad I had one can of newborn formula that helped us out on our first couple days home❤
