[quote=Anonymous]OP - first congratulations. I hope all works out as planned, I'm sure it will.

Second, I was in the exact same situation as you (except I was able to carry, but also had a previous double mast and would not be able nurse). I also freaked out and really wanted breastmilk for my child and did have a friend who was trying to work through some allergies for her baby so instead of pumping and dumping she gave the milk to me, so my kid had some breast milk, not a lot. But in retrospect, my kid was always hungry like an hour after the breast milk but was very satisfied by the formula (we just used organic Similac). I don't know what benefit if any she got from the breastmilk and it was a PITA to get even though our friend was close by. I wish we'd not jumped through that hoop. I would just make sure you have formula on hand (and I know, formula shortage is a whole other wrench in the works!) but we used ready made similac for the first 3 months and it was really easy.

My kid is now 6 and a healthy flourishing child. If you choose to go straight to formula, I don't think that when your kid is 6 you're going to look back and wish you'd paid lots of $$ or driven all over the place to get breast milk. Just feed your kid the formula that their system can process and enjoy your baby![/quote]
