😭 Long story short... I had a very high risk pregnancy with a pelvic floor prolapse, Gestational Diabetes, and IUGR. My baby came only 2 weeks early and we had to supplement right from the get go to control sugar issues and keep her strength up because she was also fighting an infection right when she was born. About 1 month old we were EBF, YAY! Fast forward to about 4 months and she would literally scream and cry at my boobs until I would cave and give her a bottle. I have been fighting that battle for over a month and now she will only breastfeed right when she wakes up and demands a bottle otherwise. My pumping efforts are just not enough and we are probably about half formula / half breast milk at this point. It just hurts my heart 💔!!! I only made it to 10 months with my son before he did the exact same thing that she is doing now. Don’t get me wrong!!! I’m fine with giving formula and bottles... a FED baby is a HAPPY baby!

I just wasn’t ready to be done breastfeeding with her yet and it makes me so sad!
