I caved π₯π§π’
So my beautiful baby girl is almost 4 months old. I posted alot of questions here about breastfeeding, and what wonderful support and advice you ladies gave me, thanks for that.
But I am sad to say that I am weaning her off breast milk and going with formula. Because if I have to hear one more time :"She's fussy because she is hungry, your milk is not enough", or "Give her some cereal to fill her up" or "Are you sure you are making enough milk". "Formula she drinks 150ml, you only give her 90 ml breast milk, you are not giving her enough."
I WILL have a melt down, because everytime I feed her I feel asif its not enough I doubt my body. And I feel like a bad mom. My support system wasn't and still isn't the best. My husband tries to tell my what and how, my mom and his granny just wants to give her cereal.
I know in my heart that my milk is enough, because she is gaining weight beautifully, she has enough wet and dirty dipers. And she is a happy baby.
But without propper support it is impossible to even enjoy breastfeeding anymore.
So yesterday I gave her a bottle of formula, and she was still uneasy (I'm pretty sure she is teething). And I was like HA! See NOTHING wrong with my milk.
But I am set to transfer her to formula now, my heart is sore, but a mommy can only take so much, if mommy is stressed, baby is stressed.
Vent over.
Thanks too all your support mamma's
π Happy New year π
