Breastfeeding woes

Feeling guilty cause my baby is having difficulty latching (consultation said my boobies is too big for him), so we're just pumping out the milk and bottle feeding him. Topping up with FM cause my BM is not enough for his demands. Feeling guilty cause I'm not breastfeeding him exclusively :(

Don’t feel guilty! Even if you are exclusively pumping, you are still feeding him breastmilk which is the best you can provide. Perhaps when he is older, you can try different latching positions to latch him again. You can join this support group, Breastfeeding Mothers Singapore (BMSG) on Facebook and seek advice too!

Thanks for the advice! I'm feeling upset cause of my low supply too - Baby is drinking 90 - 120ml per feed at 1 week old now. So we have to top up with FM too
