So I have spent the whole day crying. I have been feeling so much guilt over switching my baby to formula. Or I guess it's not even really switching, I guess just giving up on breastfeeding. When she was born, she ended up in the NICU for three days because of her blood sugar. They gave her formula to help stabilize. It worked, but we continued to try to breastfeed. Then last night, after the third night of trying to breastfeed, she was up hungry every 45 minutes, she would breastfeed for a little bit, fall asleep, then be back up. Somewhere around 330 I caved and gave her a bottle of formula. She slept for four hours. That tells me she wasn't getting enough, and was still hungry. Why do I feel so guilty? Why am I so sad? I feel like I'm failing her. I'm not. And I have three other kids that I transitioned to formula without a bit of guilt. What the hell? Is it the hormones? She's six days old.
