Formula / pumping has taken its toll
A little back story...
My son was born tongue tied- and struggled really badly with latching and breastfeeding. After a lot of convincing for me, we finally clipped it to fix it and him be able to latch. Well, he still does not latch, and he’s now almost two months old. I have been having to pump, then feed in a bottle.
I’m now on the early stages of mastitis, and am having to take antibiotics. With that being said- I’m really debating just switching to formula, having to pump had taken such a toll on me mentally. I can’t go anywhere because I have to take my pump, and I wake up having to pump even while my son is asleep- therefore I lose time I could be sleeping as well. I sit and cry because it’s taken such a toll on me, and now I struggle with the fact I want to switch to formula it makes me feel like a bad mom or that I am giving up. That’s not to offend anyone- that’s just how I FEEL.
Has anyone switched to formula? Which was better? Similac or Enfomil? What kind of formula?
Please no judgement.. I just want advice and maybe some hope.
