Yes my son was formula fed...
Breastfed, bottle fed or formula? Who knew that this question could pose so much judgement and the answer cause so much controversy. I say we should cancel fed is best and breast is best culture and replace it instead with love is best. Love is what a mother is doing regardless of how her baby is fed anyways. Fed insinuates we would let our child starve elsewise and breast is best says everything else is not best for us or our child and that’s not always the case.
I feel for the mom who are struggling with breastfeeding or the mom who gives formula. It’s not easy and it’s not any easier when we have this pressure to do it or judgement on how we do so. It’s exhausting. So let’s cancel that culture while we’re ahead.
I breastfeed Tyrese for almost 3 months, due to galactocele (milk cyst) secondary infection with development of a breast abscess. I was forced to stop breastfeeding and because of it I struggled with postpartum depression. I cried every day for almost a month, I beat myself up so much the fact that I wasn’t able to breastfeed my baby longer than 3 months but I’ve come to terms with it. To me it’s important to acknowledge how this made me feel, feel it completely and then move on and let it go. Tyrese needs to be gaining weight and formula is the only option for that. I definitely miss breastfeeding and I loved the time with him. I know a lot of mommas can relate to breastfeeding struggles. It’s hard work! And sometimes just out of your control (believe me I’ve exhausted my options to make it work) and there just comes to a point where it’s not healthy to be working that hard for something that is mentally and physically beating you up. I mean come on, your baby needs you! And it’s ok if it doesn’t work out, you’re not less of a mom without it.
I share this side of motherhood cause nobody should feel the way I felt. I put so much guilt on myself when I was struggling being a first time mom. If I could, I would go back in time and grab new mom me by the shoulders and shout “FORMULA IS FINE”. There is absolutely no shame in that! Feeding (regardless of method) is best!
