Starting formula tomorrow and honestly I’m so relieved!

em • 🐥

I love nursing, I really really do, but I do not love waking up every two hours still to feed. We’re starting formula tomorrow because I’m a teacher and start work in three weeks and will not be pumping AND because I need sleep. I feel so fucked because the longest stretch of sleep I have gotten in four months is one six hour stretch. I am PUMPED to start this LO on formula and am hoping it will make a difference with his sleep! 🙌🏻

We will be giving him the Holle Combiotic Goat’s Milk Formula, so I’m hoping the transition will be smooth. Breastfeeding has been great and he gains beautifully, but honestly my mental health is suffering. I hope to still nurse a little in the evenings, but if I have to stop I’m okay with that, too. 😊
