supplementing guilt
I'm very torn... I have a 1 month old that I've been exclusively breastfeeding and have been doing alright for the most part... I'm trying to pump so I can supplement bottles at night to allow my husband to help and to allow me to sleep a bit more, but I try multiple times a day and get MAYBE 3 oz total... It's exhausting!! Both physically and mentally... Tonight my son was inconsolable and after almost 2 solid hours on the boob we ended up giving him a few ounces of formula...
Now I feel insanely guilty... But I think I feel even more guilty for thinking of how much easier it may be if we just formula feed from the beginning... Can anyone else relate?? I plan on continuing to breastfeed and pump, but I'm starting to feel like I'm failing at this whole thing and then feel worse because maybe I want to switch?? I'm sure this is just a phase and we will both get over it but I'm just feeling very torn right now...
