It wasn’t one or the other, but finding a way to still provide breastmilk like you wanted, and keep bub (Aussi for baby) fed with formula supplemented. Bub got the best of both worlds ๐Ÿ™‚ It hurts me how often when breastfeeding doesn’t go smoothly women are given the ultimatum of one or the other. Formula or breast. Why not both if you are someone who wants to provide what breastmilk you can for your baby.
Glad to hear you found a solution that worked for you and your family. I know what it’s like to struggle at first too, my milk didn’t come in for 4 days…and then when it did, it REALLY did and poor lil guy couldn’t get his mouth around properly. I had to express first and then lil fella could latch for the first week. The best analogy I have ever heard about breastfeeding is comparing it to sex, it might be “natural” but it still has quite the learning curve to get it right. Haha
