bf and formula my newborn

Don't worry about what people would say. Your story resonates with mine & I totally feel you. 😢❤️ I was on low supply 2 weeks after giving birth & had to go on formula. My own mum stresses me out saying that my baby won't be close to me if I don't breastfeed. And whenever I'm resting & my husband handles the baby she'll taunt me by saying that my baby is so close to her father etc. I felt so depressed! Then, kaypoh aunties would chip in saying that breastfed kids are smarter & healthier blabla. *rolls eyes* Fast forward to 5 years later, now, my formula fed girl has grown up healthy, smart, & even close to me! Her past year form teacher says she's among the best students in class who can read & write well as compared to her friends. And she's close to me as I always connect, engage, get down to her level & play with her. Now no one can say anything anymore. It's easy to feel guilt in many areas, dear mummy. I know that feeling. It's like as though you're not enough & not doing great. But you do what you deem is fit for the situation. People love to talk. But in the end it's between you & your own child. Take a deep breath mummy. Take a step one at a time. Cry if you must. (I did a lot of crying w/o support too. 😢) Believe that it's you who can determine what's best for your baby. *hugs* ❤️
