Hello ladies!

Let me start off by saying that if there are ANY negative comments following this post, I will not have it & they are not needed. I am simply searching for advice.

FED IS BEST.

My baby boy is almost 12 weeks old and has been EBF for the most part except when we needed to supplement with formula when we first brought him home - he dropped almost 10% of his birthweight.

I’m calling on mamas who were EBF and have made the switch to formula. Lately I have been very impatient with EBF and find myself struggling mentally. My original goal was to EBF for at least the first 6 months but as the 3 months roll around; I’m starting to lose my sanity a little bit. I feel as though I’m “obligated” to EBF because there’s so much pressure to do it- but honestly, makes me want to do it even less.

The main reason I’m so torn is because I know I’ve made it half way to my goal, but I also don’t know how to stay positive when I’m struggling.

To get to the point, for mamas who went from EBF to formula, how did you decide to proceed with the change? Do you feel better now- emotionally? Have you noticed any changes with your LO?

I’m still undecided on if I want to try and keep breastfeeding. I always heard it gets easier but I don’t feel this way right now.
