Why the heck not?

Question

So me and some other girls got into it today defending bottle feeding so I figured it would be a little humorous and lift someone's spirit if I did this. I'm gonna brag about formula feeding my baby since we can brag just like breastfeeding mommas. No shame. My baby girl is doing amazing on her puramino formula. 6 weeks going strong! I'm so glad we have her happy healthy and no longer failure to thrive. Yay for 6 weeks of feeding my baby something that doesnt cause her pain. 
Drop your formula brag in the comments. Let's be proud of our journeys.

Answer

Formula helped me become a better mother. I was stressed all the time and obsessed with pumping enough milk after being unable to traditionally breastfeed. Formula allowed me to relax and enjoy my baby. No one should ever be shamed for how they fed their baby!!

Answer

Been feeding my boy formula since 4 days old, and I have not regretted it one bit. 
Breastfeeding was horrible and painful for us. 
We LOVE formula. 
He’s now almost 7 months old and is wearing 12 month clothing. He is doing just fine!

Answer

My daughter was 6 weeks premature and spent 8 days in the NICU due to jaundice and a brain hemorrhage. I was not able to breastfeed her and tried everything under the sun to pump breast milk for her and failed to do so. Formula kept my daughter alive!

Answer

My little girl is 6 weeks old & I’m about ready to give up breastfeeding but am struggling because of the social stigma. Thank you ladies - I needed to see this post today to remind me of what’s actually important❤️

Answer

My baby boy started on formula at 2 months and is now 13 months and on whole milk! I didn’t have enough milk and he was almost at failure to thrive, it only took about a week on formula and he was gaining weight fast!! He was a chunk for a little bit until he started running around! Switching to formula took so much anxiety and stress (and pain!) away for me. No one talks about the stress of breastfeeding!

And now! 😍

Answer

My daughter has a milk protein allergy and needs special formula. Stop breastfeeding because dairy is in everything. No more gas pains for her and she is so happy!!!

Answer

My baby boy is 3 weeks old and I couldnt produce enough for him. He lost 13% of his body weight and would literally sleep all day and not open his eyes at all or even cry. He was sooo dehydrated and not getting the nutrients he needed. He didn't poop for a week after his first poop. I gave him a bottle of formula and he pooped within 2 hours. After about 5 bottles he was awake, alert and happy. Formula has made my boy healthy. Over the span of the night we get 8 hours of "broken sleep"
