Continue pumping through back pain?
I have a 2 week old baby and have been pumping and supplementing for feeds. My milk didn't come in until 5 days later so I had to use formula and I don't produce a lot for her to have on its own. The other problem is my breasts are huge and I've had abnormally large boobs all my life but they're the biggest they've ever been and this is my 3rd baby.
My breasts are causing me back ache. I've had to make my own bras now as no stores have my size anymore. I've looked online and they only go up to UK size M and I'm beyond that. I believe I may be a 34 O or P at this point.
I used formula for my two other kids and they turned out fine but I feel so much guilt as my milk is actually working out this time. I'm just in constant discomfort from the weight of them and also having two other kids 2 and 3 1/2 isn't great for having time to pump. I pump because my nipples go flat from engorgement and they're hard to balance with the baby and to make sure I'm not smothering her. What would you guys do?
