I cried today

hi mama, I know the pain... it's so much hard work to pump breast milk out, it hurts too. it is ok to feed formula, or do a mix of Breast Milk and Formula. whatever you do for your child is your best efforts. there is no shame in it. and no blame for your baby who cannot finish the milk you've worked so hard to pump out... prehaps think of it this way. many mums have low supply or no supply, and the priority is not just feeding breast milk, but just to feed baby. as long as baby is fed, regardless of type of milk or amount of milk or frequency of drinking milk, doesnt matter. you are doing your best 💗 my kids all grew up with formula milk because I couldnt produce much. my mum had the same issue, me and my siblings all took formula milk. and we (including my kids) are grown / growing up well 😉 have breast milk, great. dont have, also great, get formula. all types of milk will help baby grow well, and each has its own benefits. all the best mama, dont be so hard on yourself! you are trying your best already!

Understand your concern about wasting breast milk..I had a day when I was not producing enough, and baby was having diarrhoea from drinking formula, and it was so stressful coz i feared that my baby had nothing to drink. After that, I also didn't want to waste even a drop of milk. Don't feel bad about it. Your guilt is coz you want to save enough milk for your baby. Just continue pumping regularly and you and baby will be fine :)

I’m a low supply mom and I 100% understand what you’re feeling! I drank my bm when I was traveling cause every drop is too precious to go down the sink! Consider mixed feeding maybe? While waiting for your supply to bounce back to normal.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Supplement with formula if you don’t have enough breast milk. Baby might not be hungry after feeding although the signs are similar. Baby might just want the comfort of sucking sometimes.

you can freeze the leftover milk for bath time! then use it in the bath water for baby skin
