[quote=Anonymous]Always thought I’d BF for a year and never really considered formula. Ended up hating it with a baby who was tongue and lip tied and really struggling to adequately feed, falling asleep every time, and leading to lots of clogs bc he wasn’t draining me. Even though we had his ties released, we switched to pumping and bottle feeding at 6 weeks and that was hell for a bit too bc exclusive pumping and taking care of a newborn is so challenging (he was so much happier though!). Weaned myself down to 2 pumps per day after a few weeks and supplemented with formula. He was fed about 50/50 until 6 months when I quit pumping and went to all formula and I have never felt better as a mom. Wish I’d done it sooner! Will try again with any future children but formula is great and fed really is best. He’s 8 months now and thriving, and I’m so much more myself and a better mom to him without all the hormones that come with BF.[/quote]
