[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, I feel your pain and frustration. Everyone's different, but in my experience, after 3 months, breast is really so so so much easier than formula, having done it both ways. If BFing baby and I needed to run and errand or do an outing, it was so much easier to just grab diaper bag and go and not have to worry about preparing and bringing bottles. If we got delayed somewhere, food was always there. When I got sick, I could still BF in bed (and pass on antibodies) versus having to get up in an exhausted fog and prepare bottles.

It was so hard at first to breastfeed, but ultimately after the first couple months, it was way easier to be a social mobile human being with the baby who could breastfed than the one who couldn't.

Good luck![/quote]

This is not helpful. OP hates breastfeeding, her baby hates breastfeeding, and it doesn’t always get better. That was your experience, not hers. [/quote]

Right, but OP is facing down a nationwide formula shortage which most of us did not need to deal with. I am 100% fed is best, but if there’s no formula, baby won’t be fed.

She can exclusively pump. It seems she is more comfortable with that than breastfeeding. [/quote]
