Two weeks of exclusive breast milk- nursing and pumping and I’m BEAT. I’m so proud of myself for making it two weeks but I’ve made the decision to start supplementing formula. This is a choice that has made me emotional but also something I feel is best. All through my pregnancy I was asked about how I planned to feed my daughter and I made a point of saying I needed to preserve my mental health as well. I feel like the last two weeks my daughter is either attached to me or I have a pump attached to me as she has trouble latching sometimes so we needed to use bottles. I haven’t been sleeping, I’ve been so worried about her intake and overall my mind is spiraling. With the support of my husband and pediatrician I have made the choice to supplement formula with my breast milk and I feel good about doing so. I guess reason I’m making this post is because I know there has to be other new mamas out there having similar experiences and I just wanted to share- fed is best. Your mental health is very important and there is nothing wrong with your breastfeeding journey not going the way you really planned it to. We are all learning and our babies are learning as well. Take care of yourself as a mama just as much as you’re taking care of babe 💜
