Confused and upset
I just had my baby 2 days ago and I’ve been breast feeding her. Well today I got told she still continue to lose weight and we need to change up my breast feeding. She tells me I need to breast feed then pump into a bottle and give her the bottle. To me that makes zero sense because why not just keep her on the boob longer. So I’m getting in my head and decide to formula feed and breast feed so the lactation nurse comes in and said your doing this because of her weight loss I said yes she said I can pull 5 babies from the nursery who are in the same position as your baby and there doing amazing. She then puts the formula on the table put it in her mouth makes sure she’s doing okay and hands her to me and leaves . For one I think she was out of line and two I felt terrible having to resort to that but one of my breast does not produce much milk therefore my baby refuses to drink from it so one nipple is getting all the attention and I’m in constant pain. So now my baby had a bad stomach ach and all I can think is it’s because I changed her diet. So now I’m back to just breast feeding. What can I do after we leave the hospital to help me keep her weight up and her healthy. I feel terrible and literally can’t stop crying cause all I feel is I’m failing and my baby is hungry and I’m not enough it seems. Did anyone else go back and forth with the decision before picking breast. I’m a first time mom by the way and not only is she my first but I’m infernal and had to do a long process for me to be able to have her so I just want everything to be right. Anyways any comment helps. Thank you
