Hi everyone. I just delivered my 2nd daughter on 6-1-23 via c section and started my 1st BF journey immediately after. It has truly been a struggle with baby girl latching and receiving enough to eat causing her to lose more weight than desired and now I am suffering from dry, cracked nipples and no motivation to keep moving forward w/the journey. Because baby girl has a tongue tie, we have started supplementing w/formula to ensure she can increase her weight gain & receive enough nutrients but I am torn as to what I should do. Should I continue to try to BF or just stop altogether & keep my sanity because I feel like I’m losing it. I was unable to BF my 1st daughter due to various issues so it was my goal to do so the 2nd time around but I’m wondering if it’s worth the mental and emotional toll.

I welcome any suggestions, advice or encouragement either way.
