I tried breastfeeding my first and I hated everything about it! He wouldn’t latch so I had a nipple shield, I have a large chest so covering up was out of the question and trying to feed in public was not happening, I couldn’t produce enough, I couldn’t pump more than two ounces in a session, and he ended up being formula fed anyway in the end because of an allergy.

I’ve felt a lot of pressure to breastfeed and have felt guilty about my choice to formula feed a few times but ultimately my baby needs me less stressed and able to just enjoy being his momma so I’m excited to just bottle feed him and snuggle him up!
