Feeling guilty for formula feeding
I’ve decided to exclusively formula feed and have had my mind set for a few months now after doing tons of research. There are many reasons why I want to formula feed but the primary reason is to prioritize my mental health.
I know I don’t have to explain myself to people but when the topic comes up and I give them my explanations, I feel so selfish.
I’m starting to get anxious about this even more now because I’m delivering at a baby-friendly hospital where I know they will push breastfeeding so I’ll have to stand my ground.
It just feels like I continually need to explain myself and convince other people about my decision. It’s draining.
Could really use some suggestions on how to combat this feeling…or just some support :)
