[quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP. Here are my thoughts: My milk never really came in. I had to start supplementing DS on day 3. I took fenugreek, I saw a lactation consultant, I pumped, and still always supplemented with formula (and by supplementing, i mean he probably got more formula than breastmilk). I cried when my baby wanted to feed every couple of hours, because it took so long. I made it to 6 months (again - always supplementing with formula). When I pumped I would get MAYBE 4 ounces total during a session - i can't imagine being someone who got 6-8 oz per breast!. One thing to think about is if you are going to bond with your baby better when breastfeeding, or giving him a bottle. I loved giving DS a bottle - he would look in my eyes, and it was less stressful for me. Like another PP said - your job is to feed the baby. Breastmilk or formula - whatever works better for the 2 of you - your mental health is very important!![/quote]
