[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s wrong with takeout? I love takeout. Supplement with formula.[/quote]

We are eating a lot of high salt and high fat foods. Think burger and fries, Chinese, tacos, etc.

I don’t want to use formula. I am only interested in feeding my milk. I don’t need formula supplement. [/quote]

Eat what you need to keep yourself going. Breastfeeding requires energy. Energy comes from food. It is a myth that by eating burger and fries your milk will be lower quality. Your body will take what it needs to get your baby what it needs. Until you can eat better, you do with what keeps life easiest right now.

If you don't want to use formula, then you figure out a schedule and you stick to it as much as you can which also requires a lot of energy. Formula is only suggested as a back-up because sometimes pumping and breastfeeding is a lot harder (and painful) than it initially seems (and I breastfed all three of my children from birth to 2.5 years). I always recommend breastfeeding, but fed is best and that is what matters when you want to see your newborn growing. You may only be interested in feeding her breastmilk, but make sure she is fed no matter what.[/quote]
