[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. Then do what you think you can handle.

I was committed to breastfeeding when I had DC1. However, it was really hard for a long time.  It took around 4-6 weeks before both of us got the hang of it. I also had a lot of support at home  with DH, my mom. and a lactation consultant.  And there was no pandemic. I also supplemented with formula at times.

If I gave birth during this pandemic, I would absolutely continue to breastfeed because of the immunity that breastmilk provides. But again, this is because I had lots of support.  If you are not able to endure it, I would suggest trying formula to tide you over. Try for a few more weeks, it gets better and then it gets a lot easier.

Breastfeeding for a FTM is miserable for the first 6 weeks.  The rewards comes later though. [/quote]

This is super unhelpful.  Not everyone can power through and get to success.  And I think OP knows there is a pandemic!  OP - 10 years from now, I promise that how long you breastfed for will not be the thing you're obsessing about when you worry about how you screwed up your kid.  [/quote]
