Yes! I had no plans to formula feed at all. I did have to start supplementing because my boobs couldn't keep up with my daughter. Anyways, she screamed in pain every single night, 4-6 hours straight crying every night. She would throw up so much, projectile vomit ounces and ounces. Choke in her bassinet. She has reflux problems. So I tried changing my diet, we still had problems. We also tried medicine for reflux, it didn't work. So her pediatrician ended up putting her on similac spit up. It's a thicker formula, and I have the happiest baby now. That's when I realized that fed is best. My baby was miserable on my breast milk and even with changes, it didn't get any better.She never cries for long periods of time anymore, she sleeps so much longer, she's so much happier. Never feel guilty for breast feeding not working out 😊
Formula
I am feeling bad about our feeding situation. My baby girl always had trouble latching since she was born. It was always my plan to breastfeed but it ended up being an hour of her screaming while we tried every position. I worked three days with lactation consultants in the hospital and I finally decided that fed is best. We started pumping and supplementing with formula. For a while, I was pumping out a lot of breast milk, but it has recent gone dry. I have tried lactation cookies and tea and nothing has helped. So my girl is seven weeks and we are on formula only. She is a healthy 11lbs but I am still feeling guilty that we couldn't work it out. Has any one else gone through something similar?? Just looking for some support...
