So heres my story;

Im a young first time mom. I plained on breast feeding for a minimum of three months, but the last month has not only been hard on me but my daughter as well.. we have gaven her a couple bottles of formula but i think its time to start supplementing more offten. The thing is i feel so judged on my decision.. when people ask.me why and my answer isnt right away a reason.. they look at me like im just giving up. Well.. no im not giving up.. i just truely believe its whats best for my daughter and myself.

You see.. she hasnt been putting on weight, at least not as much as she should be.. shes development is perfect everywhere besides her weight and i think the breast feeding is to blame.. she never latches longer than a couple minutes, and never feeds for more that 10-15min after a couple burps and is always fussy afterward.. and honestly the constant need to pull out my boob to feed her is getting to me.. its hard on me mentally and physically..

So my decision to formula feed her was made last night.. and we have begun the process in finding the right one that she likes to her taste.. i dont want to quick breast feeding quite yet.. but o guess like they say a fed baby is a happy baby.
