I keep trying to tell myself Fed is best.
I am mentally struggling with the fact that I may not be able to breastfeed much longer my LO is almost 5 weeks old and from day one he never latched and come to find out the hospital was formula feeding him behind my back and while I was trying to get my supply up with pumping exclusively I still wasnt getting enough for him so I would substitute formula in between. Now I'm going to be going back to work soon and won't be able to pump while there and I know Fed is best and I can go strictly to formula but I just feel so defeated. I'm so depressed because I feel like ive let him down and I'm not the mother he needs me to be. I'm still only getting about 2oz out of each side with each pumping session and he will go thru that and then some. I never wanted to give up but I feel its going to come a point that I will have to with work and all. I wish I felt at ease with just formula feeding but I don't because I feel I will be lacking that connection with my son because I feel I should be able to do this. Not really looking for advice but some encouragement would go a long way right now.
