Switching to Formula 💔
I felt pressured to nurse/pump from the start. I ultimately ended up pumping exclusively. My LO is now four months old and over the last couple weeks my ability to make myself pump has completely disappeared. I'm down to once a day and getting only about eight ounces in that session. Beyond that he is getting formula.
One of my biggest issues is that my LO tends to spit up after formula. This has never happened with breast milk.
Now I don't know if it's too late to get my supply back. And if it is too late, I'm worried this new guilt over switching to formula will last as long as the formula does.
I've been on these forums long enough to know that the compassion and support for things like this have a tendency to be lacking to say the least, but that's what I need. I am hoping someone has a first hand account of regaining their supply this late in the game. Or even just to know that other moms made the move to formula and got over the awful feeling of failure. ðŸ˜
