[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had twins at 31 weeks. Pumped 11 months. But they only had half their milk from me, other half was special high caloric formula they required. Everything I read suggested that babies don’t need all calories to come from breast milk to reap the benefits of breast milk. (NOT trying to start argument re breast vs formula). Can you cut back on pumping a bit and let DH do a formula feed 1-2x day?  That will give you back some time. [/quote]

I really just don’t want to use formula. We used some in the hospital and it made her super gassy and spit up. The high calorie formula can really cause stomach discomfort more than regular formula. I prefer to pump and feed her only my milk because that’s what’s works for her. [/quote]

I get it, but exclusively pumping is a beast. I did it way too long for my 33 weeker at the cost of my own mental health. Try a different formula than what they used in the hospital. Give yourself grace on the takeout, it won't be forever. [/quote]
