[quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids couldn’t latch properly (likely error on our part?), so I ended up pumping for 6 months each time. My supply was pretty mediocre - but what kept me going, even after returning to work, was the potential health benefit. That said, here’s how I think about it: - Formula is totally fine. There’s nothing wrong with it. My kids only had breastmilk for six months, and they’ve turned out just fine. - If my supply had been better, I might have gone longer, mainly because I generally believe that natural is, well, more “natural.” - But ultimately, it all depends on how mom feels. It didn't bother me that much. If it adds too much stress, I’m also a big believer in “take care of yourself so you can better take care of the kids." Kids are pretty resilient. - [/quote]
