Hello. Sorry that you’re feeling down. It’s normal to cry but hope it’s not excessive crying, otherwise you gotta inform your gynae about it, talking to friends might help too. Chatting here is also an avenue for you. :) Good that milk supply has kicked in for you, it’ll be even more later :) I’m wondering if your hubs is aware on the importance of feeding newborn with breastmilk and breastfeeding? Does he panic when baby starts crying and just sort for the easier solution? Honestly, the last thing to do is to panic, baby can sense the anxiety by parents also. There are many ways to store breastmilk and can be consumed safely when stored properly. Can read this as guidance, quite informative https://www.healthhub.sg/live-healthy/1141/pregnancy-feeding-your-baby-breastfeeding I’m first time mummy to a newborn since Feb. To me, introducing formula is okay but cannot disregard breastmilk totally because breastmilk and breastfeeding is still the best at this juncture (eg develop positive bonding between you and baby, it gives you a sense of satisfaction when you know baby is drinking, and many more benefits)
Why are u feeling like a failure! Dont be! My hb once spilled my milk and got a scolding from me. I also heartpain the milk we have pumped out! Let him know so that next time he doesnt do so? My ger also dun latch last time n she is super impatient.
