Formula feeding

Hi all, my newborn is 2 weeks old and I have low milk supply from beginning and trying to pump and latch but it's not enough so the baby is pretty much fully formula fed and I feel so terrible. Is it bad if my child will be fully formula fed?

No it's definitely not bad to be formula fed. Breastfeeding has its good points - which is to pass antibodies to baby to strengthen his immune system by a bit. So if you are able, and is not trouble for you to pump or latch, I would suggest to continue pumping or latching, perhaps just for a bonding session and not as a feeding session, a little bit would be great too. If not, fully formula fed would not be a bad idea either.
